I just want to break out
To take it all with me
And leave it all behind
Burn these walls around me
And keep them strong and high

Within them I am lonesome
But too scared to go without
Talking to my ceiling
Its silence makes me shout
My screams come out silent
And it hears every *$%@#&* word
(You hear my anger, you feel my hate, but I bite my tongue until it bleeds, to save a blushing face).
Its ignorance is catching
And I don't think at all



Quod me nutrit me destruit.
("What nourishes me also destroys me." - latin)

*sigh* solitude can be deafening at times...at other times when I sit upon the shore and feel the peace around me while waves gentle lap against the beach it is a comfort that fills me with serenity. Powerful and very real are your words. I could feel them to my soul. **big hugs**

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

Yes, I know this feeling also.  Sometimes you feel as if you are suffocating and you don't know what to do or if you can do anything, you just want to fly.  Maybe that's why I write poetry, it makes me feel free.

(sigh) Oh Alice, I know just how you feel, solitude can be so suffocating and so depressing, but as long as we listen to our loving hearts, we will find peace-of-mind and serenity of beauty, and tranquility will glisten in our hearts! (kiss on cheek) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alice, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
