Array ( [sid] => 90042 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Raining [time] => 2005-04-05 21:51:27 [hometext] => written when i was 17 and had just been admitted to the local hospital for attempted suicide . Few people have impacted on me the way the staff at the hospital did and it is with thanks to them that i am still alive [bodytext] => Here I lay on my single bed
In my new single life
Staring out of my single window
Hoping to escape this internal strife
I'm stuck at the proverbial crossroads
between the future and the past
Standing in a place called Loneliness
how long will this emptiness last

Lost in a desolate wilderness
with no compass, no map, no guide
Sliding down an emotional slippery dip
then washed back up again with the tide

I've lost all focus and direction
I'm clean out of self-faith
Scared of everything and everyone
Friendships torn, scattered and misplaced

My glazed eyes are wide open
but I can't see a single thing
And although it's deathly quiet
I can't hear this cold heart sing
Lost inside what I wish was merely a dream

I don't like where I am now
it's a dark and dreary hole,
Cant find anyway back
It's heavy, suffocating, constricted
and it's raining in my soul
