Array ( [sid] => 76128 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THE DRUG [time] => 2004-12-17 00:15:29 [hometext] => I HATE THE MED'S I'M ON [bodytext] => I can no longer sleep without
the drug.

The dreams are just to much
to bear

Death turns to life
Life is but a dream in which
I cannot wake

Rest is but a faint memory

The drug help's to free me
my soul from life

I sleep with no dreams
But do I sleep or do I just
rest without a dream

A waking sleep
A lifeless dream

I cannot tell but the drug
is always within me

Everywhere I go I try to wake
from a dreamless sleep

And all I see is death and pain

Life really means nothing
to me.

I wish it all to go away

The drug keeps me here.

A life without a tear.

THE DRUG

Topic: selfstruggles

I can no longer sleep without
the drug.

The dreams are just to much
to bear

Death turns to life
Life is but a dream in which
I cannot wake

Rest is but a faint memory

The drug help's to free me
my soul from life

I sleep with no dreams
But do I sleep or do I just
rest without a dream

A waking sleep
A lifeless dream

I cannot tell but the drug
is always within me

Everywhere I go I try to wake
from a dreamless sleep

And all I see is death and pain

Life really means nothing
to me.

I wish it all to go away

The drug keeps me here.

A life without a tear.

I'm on a lot of drugs too..and I never feel good. Not as bad as you I'm sure..but I know a little of what you may be feeling.. I sleep, but don't feel rested.. feel lousy and weak all day. Can't do most of what I'd like to do..don't feel joy.. don't feel sexy or pretty.. or worthwhile.. just feel like I'm using someone's oxygen that could be put to better use.. I'm sorry you feel so bad..but I'm glad I'm not on the planet alone..

Life really means nothing
to me..............

Well I know this is an old poem of yours. But I hope you feel differently now that we are together. Because life without you would be to much to bare.
Love, MaDonna
