Passivity

Thank you Mr. I-know-what's-good-for-you
For giving me another taste of
What-will-make-me-happy.
You've blessed me once again with,
A you-really-don't-mean-that push into
The direction of your vice.

Excellent. I wondered firstly at the title of this (because the 'tone' doesn't seem passive at all), until i looked a little deeper and saw that perhaps this could be anger coming out at being passive in the face of this type of manipulation.

Again, Excellent.

(big huggsssssss) This is so very heartwrenching, sweet friend, it too saddens me to see so many people reluctant in being giving sincerely and attempt to make someone happy without putting heart into it! (sad sigh) I hope now you have found someone who can really feel for you when you feel down, sweet friend, we all love you 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

Wow.  Wonderful writing style.  The sarcasm seems to permeate each and every word.  While the message is very sincere, it is not as the words alone would describe.  I think it's a wonderful expression for the frustration that one may be feeling towards an all too controlling friend or perhaps a parent.  Great job, I look forward to reading more from you.
