Array ( [sid] => 90630 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Mile in my Shoes [time] => 2005-04-11 15:33:11 [hometext] => This is a brief description of my sad, sad life...enjoy. [bodytext] => Born to people,
Who just didn't care.
Who screwed one nite,
Then poof, I'm there.

Mommy's in the ground,
And daddy's in jail.
Oops, what do you know,
There's a baby for sale.

Taken in by people,
Who were monsters their own way.
Second daddy up and left,
Mysteriously oneday.

Daddy number three,
Waltzed into my world.
Thoughts and emotions coarsing,
Through my head they swirled.

Sometimes he would hit me,
But no, I wouldn't cry.
Though inside I craved it,
A part of me wished I died.

First kiss lead to more,
Then more got out of control.
He took my body,
Then he took my soul.

Left out in the cold,
Soul-less and full of tears.
Left it there to fester,
And explode throughout these years.

Smacked around,
Phyiscally and emotionally abused.
They said they loved me,
But then left me used.

Hallucenations gone crazy,
As tears roll down my face.
It's crazy how all my life,
I've felt so out of place.

Made up images,
And haunting voices.
Then came the dreams,
Also came my choices.

Blood ran down my arm,
Blood on the floor and on the wall.
You think I hit rock bottom,
But I've yet to even fall.

Drowning myself,
And popping pills.
I'll do whatever,
As long as it kills.

My pain grows deeper,
As I begin to feel.
I think the sun starts to shine,
And everything turned real.

There came along love,
Or shall I say hell.
Yeah, my knees buckled,
That's when I fell.

I thought he equaled life,
But he just made me ache.
For I never knew passion,
Could cause immense heartbreak.

His vial words,
And silent blows.
Is a brutal torture,
I hope no one ever knows.

So take a walk in my shoes,
See if it's your style.
Never judged until you've walked,
In my shoes a mile.

A Mile in my Shoes

Born to people,

And daddy's in jail.
Oops, what do you know,

Who were monsters their own way.

Mysteriously oneday.

But no, I wouldn't cry.
