(tears fall down my cheeks) I guess there's no room for me in this place, and no one wants to hear a sparrow sing and I'm just a waste of everyone's time. It Just Can't Last By: Noah Eaton 11/29/01 I scream from the top of my lungs My voice is hoarse from every song I've sung When I was a boy, I used to think That I'd find my place in the sun and be happy Keep all of my dreams Now my dreaming tree is bulldozed I am lost, and there's nowhere to go You've let go of my hand Now I'm just like the ugly duckling Crying in the rain with no one to love me Am I meant to be sad? I wanted the world to see me I don't fit into any cliches Do I deserve to live? I feel so cold and sick I thought that I had found something dear Have the comfort to share my words But now they're meaningless and I'm naked with my thoughts I feel so alone and hurt It just can't last Now I know It just can't last My dreams and hopes They just can't last What I once was Just can't last It seems all I've tried to be Just can't last |

Why so blue, Sweet Noah? I'm not so sure if nothing lasts, but I do know that nothing stays the same--both a blessing and a curse. HUGS to you my friend. Keep your head down and keep typing!  |

You don't understand. I've tried to be a very good person, but I guess I am just a ghost to you all. I have no friends at school or at home, and when I'm not in school or doing homework, I spend my time with you! With Passions, because you are all the only friends I have! But I guess you don't care about me, and that hurts me deeply, for all I've wanted was to be part of this circle of friends and share my thoughts with you all, but I feel ignored now. I feel there are many cliches, and no one wants to invite a sparrow to recite. I feel I have no hopes anymore and I'll be alone with my thoughts all my life. (tears fall down my cheeks) Love, Noah Eaton [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (edited 11-29-2001).] |

Noah..you don't need a clique..you have each of us separately...at times we each feel we don't belong...I don't know what brought this on but I enjoy reading your words and especially your uplifting responses to me. They always make me smile. If I could, I would reach into this computer and give you a hug through yours. You fit in nicely here..so you ARE a part of this family...some days we all feel estranged..but that too shall pass. many hugs to you...and a smile or two to start your day off anew... and I don't use this word often... love( the motherly kind) Maureen p.s. you can't be naked with your thoughts..'cause I am *s "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." (J.Garland) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 11-29-2001).] |

Noah, perhaps it is time to expand your circle of Love a bit. I hear your cry, I've cried that tune myself more than once, as has most every poet I've ever read. You have so much to share. There really is a larger audience out here than you might think, but not everyone can spend the whole day and night in here, and there is so much to read and absorb! You are not ignored, nor are you alone. I have a couple of ideas for you. Check your email, as these are private thoughts, for your eyes only. |

Noah, Nothing could be farther from the truth. You have MANY friends here, so stop these negative thoughts, go prop up your dreaming tree and climb into its arms again. You cannot be beaten until you say you are beaten! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

First...Hey Interloper!  Where do I get a dreamin tree?Okay now Noah...I told you the other night to listen to me didn't I? Gee, I am starting to sound like a mother hen..lol...see what you do to me? Now you are so well loved here and we all missed you so much when you were away, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much! Sometimes, there are so many posts popping up that we miss some of our favourite writers...and, we do have other things going on in our lives. Some go to school and some work and others like myself would rather stay in here and play, but, that is impossible to do 24/7. What I am saying is....we all love you and your writing Noah.So don't be blue...be um, red, like Santa, or uh maybe white like the snow...LOL...I just lost my train of thought. I'll get out my magic wand and see what I can do! Dry your tears and put a smile on that handsome face of yours! ~hugs, Nancy~ "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." |

Noah, you know very well that you are liked and wanted by all of us here, and I am sure that there are people out in the real world who care about you too. But I have a feeling something else is going on. You can always go to Feelings in Discussion and talk things out. A lot of us can't help other than to give our understanding and suggestions on how to make lives better, having gone through all the "stuff" of getting to where we are [and trust me, you've got some gray hairs standing around you now!] And don't forget! What's bugging you today is sure to be gone by tomorrow...but never you... |

Noah, There is one thing important in life that we often forget in our everyday. It is the person we are. You have to claim your heart and soul for yourself before you can even think of others. Life has many questions that need answers, however, unless you can reason with yourself you may never get the answers. I am also a survivor like you, I have endured the toughest walks of life, and I have always found some way of finding peace within myself. Resorting to negligence of soul and body is not the answer. You have to love yourself a great deal, and you must strive to go further to attain the truth of your life. Write my friend, write, the poet is a melange of feelings. You have the greatest gift that was ever handed to humankind, the power to voice your feelings. Use it, and do not worry about being let down. Fight on, never give up, because the ultimate gain is your peace of mind. I like you, and I like what you write. I will be here for you, and if ever you need to talk, just drop me an email. Cheers. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

Noah~ Perhaps your thoughts have hit me on a bad-hair day, but to be quite honest with you, my invitational quota for 'pity-parties' is filled this month and it seems to me that the sparrow is singing a little off-key. Poetry sharing at this forum is about reading what others have posted and replying to it if you feel inclined. There are no demands on our time or our words. We put it out there ... and if others read and enjoy what we've written ... and choose to let us know ... so be it. If they don't, no amount of intimidation is going to 'make' someone feel guilty about whether or not they respond to what we write. That just isn't a very realistic expectation. As far as 'friends' go, 'To have a friend, you have to BE a friend' I didn't write it ... someone much wiser did ... but I've found it to be so true. You have to reach outside of yourself - without expecting anything in return. The friendships at Passions are multi-dimensional ... there aren't any cliques ... just circles within the circle~ So continue to write for YOURSELF ... share it here if you wish, but take time to realize that the circle of friendship continues to encircle us all~ There is some good advice sprinkled through these replies ... Soooooo, take some Pepto-Bismol and call us in the morning~  And I'll see my hairdresser about this bad-hair~ Sincerely~ ~*Marge Tindal*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
