Statistic

I'm somebody I don't want to be Sick in the mind Is how trusted ones have nurtured me Sweet and naive What a bad combination Torn to shreds and built up Into a new creation Sometimes I sleep And don't dream But have flashbacks And see pictures with bad means "Get this out of my head Its driving me mad!" But who do I tell this to I don't want to relive What I didn't want to go through I cry But what does this do I want to know the soulless Who've affected me hurt, too I don't care about their presents, futures, or pasts The thought of my welfare on their minds was last I only hope that in the future I'll avoid another life altering calamity With man

Compelling, and strongly worded. I've always tried to avoid conformity, and calamity, and any kind of labelling or pigeonholing, by which I mean avoiding BEING a statistic... I'm too sneaky! Keith
