Array ( [sid] => 82698 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Use and Abuse [time] => 2005-02-02 19:42:37 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Use and Abuse

Lost consciousness
With the emptiness

Trying to lose
Everything with what you
Use and abuse

Pushing me away
When your consciousness fades

But this is nothing new
First it starts with a few
When you use and abuse

Following the road to its end
Because your ways wouldn't mend

Drowned the blues
With what you do
When you use and abuse

But you never try
To face the demons inside

You'd rather use and abuse
The drugs given to you
And it's me following in your shoes

It's your daughter
Looking up to you
It's your daughter
Not knowing what else to do [comments] => 5 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 66 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

Its just my opinion, please dont be offended.
I dont like the way you repeat the title, it was the same thing that put me off in the other poem.
But its okay.

great poem. the way the title is repeated just emphasises how strongly you feel about this.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
