Array ( [sid] => 51024 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Reason to Live [time] => 2004-06-08 19:19:02 [hometext] => This is dedicated to all the bands that I listen to (Nirvana, Good Charlotte,Foo Fighters, Rancid, Distillers, Linkin Park...) They've gotten me through real rough times. [bodytext] => ulse beating to the pounding of your drums
Your voice is rapidly coarsing through my veins
Out of all this sound I hear you whisper
I hear you say
"Everything's gonna be okay"
And I know you're speaking right to me
I know that I'll no longer be
Hopeless, helpless
Cuz I am not alone
Not trapped in this fortress without you

All I hear is your voice
You are the voice inside my head
Keeping me alive
Sustaining my insides
If this music stops,
So do I
Everything you are
Is why
I'm stilll here

You gave me the strength
To conquer fears
Your noise is all I hear
And if you stop screaming
I stop living
ANd you're all that I am

I'll try to make it but I don't think I can
Without you
I'm nothing but dead
Without you
But as long as I know your voice
I still have that choice to live
One more life
I'll try if I can
But don't stop screaming
Don't stop singing
If you stop singing
I stop living
Anything you say is comforting [comments] => 2 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 55 [informant] => iluvpencils [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

I can definitely relate to this even though I have different bands to 'thank' I thought this poem was an interesting concept as I have never seen a poem quite like this. I thought it was quite a good poem because of its originality, but I think it could have done w/o the last stanza and ended with the 2nd to last. Seems like a stronger ending to me.
