Array ( [sid] => 62586 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Left Side [time] => 2004-09-05 00:57:26 [hometext] => [bodytext] => look at them move,
someone sits there, casting no shadow.
but i feel it and it feels me.
i look past it coz i know you won't see it.
but it won't move like the others do.
beep.
more than 7 numbers.
i wonder if you remember
the time i called you to call me
coz it was dark and cold.
i need you more than you'll ever know.
and they call me a teenager,
and i label myself a kid.
which is which? which do you love?
i dug through my nails,
looking for something not there.
and the books flew off like a fly leaf,
and i'm racing it...
it's like a balloon, tiny in the sky.
i run and run but it's now a dot.
i spilled transparent ink all over the carpet
and i feel it's sinking.
in the forest, they chopped off one tree
but i see it's empty.
kicking the can on the road,
looking back to where i came from,
and there goes the chanting again.
can you hear it?
or is it all in my head?
she's more depressed than i am,
she says.
she's a lot tired than i am,
she complains.
but i see myself trying to fake a smile
just to feel good,
just to let her judgements seem real.
now, i'm part of the pretentious world.
they say that they care
but hyprocrisy is their dish.
i recorded our conversations,
and when this cigarette is all burned out,
my life will be, too.

the way you've written this is quite interesting touch to it. it's not how most poets write. i see that other people are just a light wash in comparison to your life of darkness because the others don't quite under stand you... i may have got this wrong, it's just the impression that was given to me by reading.
you've used alo of skill in this to make it understandable, but it's still a little confusing, i liked it all the same though.
