Array ( [sid] => 62966 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => At My Wake [time] => 2004-09-08 02:05:09 [hometext] => More like self learning{As the sequence of tonight has made this poem to the full meaning of my words. As every note fell in place hours apart With noway of being guestamated they would be there when I wrote them the second time}:[candle box inspired]} [bodytext] => Somewhere in the backwash of my life
Where memories begin & memory forgot
I went thru a transittion From a track star
To a scape goat to mad

I'm not sure what triggered my mentality
Into this direction
But peer pressure
Did not aid in my demise

At one time I was recognized
In the U.S.
Kinda slow
But by them already 5:00
By 12

Within years I found & lost my anger
& at my wake I drank
Like everything's drunk
& that is the time I think

Six months later No longer w/ out pills
Rollercoasters feel like hills
Walk with my day filled
& at my wake is when I, I think

I never cried, Thinking selfishness
Is best left with the sins of pride
I closed up to realize later I never had closure
I let up just for later to realize I gave up
Never getting closure
I Am Drunk
I drink, drinking drank
I'm the fish that died, sank, & sunk
*****************************************
Now I'm no longer
I'm no longer mad
I keep from that anger
Somehow I lost that Sad
But I know now it wasn't the alcohol
That only helped me I lose What I once had
So I'm thinking
I'm not drunk
*****************************************
So I know now
Yes I know now
What I've done
When I watch my baby go
I know
What I've done
Sugar don't go
I know
I don't wanna be
What I've become
Baby don't go
*****************************
So again I think
Another day
I drink
At my wake
*****************************
Then I awake
At mother's dream
I can't fake
Feel my heart, it's taking over
I feel my heart
Heart taking over
These broken bones

And yes my age
Turnd thru the pages
And I think I'm ready to go home

I liked reading this, in away it was an escape into the mind of yesterday. A most deep and compelling emotional feel went with this read. A fascinating experience for one who also dwells on the corner of that place known as my lost yeasterday, still there but now different some how, in a way i don't want it to be.
