Lonely Thoughts
By: Noah Eaton
2/17/01

I’m aflame in my desires, but my hands and feet feel frozen
I’m duct-taped in my hearts shoebox, waiting to escape
There has to be something more out there, that I’m bound not to miss
But I feel lost sometimes and I pray to ask Him which direction I must take

Was I supposed to be a late-bloomer, or am I just fooling myself?
Was it before that people simply didn’t want me or did they hide their feelings?
I can’t help but cry at certain times when I wish I was with my love and all my friends
I struggle to fall asleep some nights when I weep for my girl, weep to live in a neighborhood where people would respect me

Sometimes I try too hard and I get the burn as I come back with nothing
Sometimes I don’t try at all and I feel miserable with that same old chill
I want to explore the world, but I don’t know where to go, worried I might take an ill-fated course
I know I must take the risk, but I’m on my own, can’t let sorrows shillelagh hammer me down

I try to cheer out loud in every shindy I get, but there’s always that cold silence of longing co-existing
Embedded upon the incinerating hearth of yearning, opting to break away somehow
Living long lonely winters that bleed into the summer, trying to find friends around me to hearten with
Teachers telling me I’m too mature over average peoples years, which is good but saddens me as I wonder how long it will be until I find someone that shares that time

I daydream of my girl all the time, questions map my head
I can’t help but think if she was right at the edge of my hearts cliff, and I wasn’t there to greet her
Lacrimating, worrying if she turned back and she got lost, and I can’t show her the way
Crying, thinking if she’s crawling through the cold rain, and I’m not there to comfort her

Sometimes lonely thoughts cloud my mind
I’m aflame in my desires, the longing burning me up inside
I wish I could control it, but I can’t fight it, I can’t hide
All that starts has to end…it’s just a matter of time

Noah...
This is a very expressional writing, and I enjoyed reading it very much...
It reminded me that we all share that same lonliness and doubt, and just that fact eases that lonely feeling......


Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

shillelagh among others..made me learn a few new words today *s

hey late bloomer or not ..think of all the sorrow you didn't have to deal with ..just know that when the time is right...it will come your way..

it did for me..I bloomed late...others weren't aware of me...and it was ok..I learned to be alone then and to like myself...

now don't ask me about today...but back then..everything came on it's own time....and was for the best...you'll see

I believe there is always someone where we are...we just need to circulate...and if we hold on to tight to the wrong one we can miss the right one...yet there is value in every relationship...whether it be a friendship, an experience, companionship, or more...James
