Array ( [sid] => 50916 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => destruction of the soul [time] => 2004-06-08 04:33:31 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I ask my alter ego who is in control
A paranoid reality or a tortured lying soul?
The truth it clouds my mind so much
I do not know the real me
My soul poisons my thoughts each day
Erodes my sanity
Am I a product of a nineties youth?
Let down by haunted dreams
A failure to realise my potential
Thats how it seems to me
A man who frees trapped animals
Yet forgets to shut the gate
A man who se childhood dreams have died
Ambition turns to hate
I'm a faded jewel in an unworn crown
With thorns around my head
My smile still plays, but oh so false
My soul is almost dead
So one more go thats all I have
The strongest has turned weak
I part with a bow and a sly old smirk
Depart with a poisoned kiss upon thy cheek [comments] => 4 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 13 [informant] => korax [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
