Unspecial
By: Noah Eaton
11/27/01

Tell me, am I a fool to believe
To hold on to all my daydreams
Am I a stupid thing?
Do I deserve to be loved?
Or am I born to be ignored and shoved
Am I special?

Should I sacrifice all my dreams
Should I file Chapter 11 on my destiny?
Or should I bleed?
Do you all still love me?
Or am I haunted and rusty?
Am I special to you?

You are all my friends
But am I to you?
I hope you could see
How much you mean to me
And share your voice with me
But do you feel the same with me?

Or will all I sing be a soliloquy?
Staring into a vague mirror?
Resting in a spider web
Do I belong here?

I feel deeply unspecial...
I feel naked with my thoughts...

Noah,
I know the sound of a soul crying out.  The questions you asked....sweetheart you already know we want you here (I'm assuming this is real, sometimes I'm wrong)
You know, once, and yes, when words are spoken they are never forgotten, once I was called an "oddity", not meant to exist, not meant to ever have been born, a "mistake."  Do not place your own self-worth upon anyone's expectations, ever, especially your own.

Please don't do that, ok?  Look in that mirror and there, you will find a reflection of a person, and what do I see without the mirror but only through your words?
Well, I see a being where a beautiful soul resides who writes poetry and wants to belong, wants to feel loved.  We all want that.  

Everyone is special, everyone and trite, yes, that sounds trite but listen to me.
No one has more insecurities than I do, in my writing, my expression and I am sometimes very difficult to understand.  Maybe I am an oddity, but if so, then I accept that as a compliment.

But you are not.  So smile, sit back, or better yet....write something beautiful to yourself and read it.  Why don't you do that for me right now?
Here, I forgot your rose....guess it's just not in my nature to withdraw from someone in the same kind of pain I'm coming out of....

*sigh* all of us can relate well to these feelings you express, Noah. At sometime all of us feel unloved and unwanted. As you can see, here at passions you are much loved. The thing that you must remember is to love yourself. Listen well to Irish Rose. Her love for you is speaking in her words. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
