Array ( [sid] => 149997 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Angel... My Eyes [time] => 2009-05-19 09:04:53 [hometext] => This poem was written when I was coming out of the closet... After a few years' worth of struggling, dissapointment in myself and obviously denial, I met someone who shed some light on the topic... and out came the real me :) [bodytext] => I am awake in this land of dreams
Surrounded by darkness or so it seems
I hear people yelling- their cries, so loud
It sends shivers down my spine – into my body
I start searching in the darkness – My darkness
Is there light? There has to be light!
Bumping into everything, nothing is unknown
Thoughts and questions fill my world
Why do you do this? Should I have told?
I’m hanging now, from the cliff of my fears
Emptiness below me, emptiness filled with tears
I reach out to no-one, begging in silence
Please leave me alone! Please save me!
All I need is a smile and a slap
Wake me from reality, put me to sleep from my dreams
Stand by me, but stand not upon me
For I have weakened my body to strengthen my soul
My heart has become the prisoner now – emotions unfold
I look up to the sky of my past
Does it haunt me or simply stalk me?
I start running till my chest breaks free
And I break down into loneliness – why cant I see?!
A blessing unfolds and suddenly I realise
Standing before me, MY Angel, MY Eyes…

My Angel... My Eyes
