Anyones Brother
By: Noah Eaton
7/22/02

I've never been a magnet to anyone
I'm not inspiring
I'm not what you go away thinking about
Just a page skipped in lifes diary
I guess I'm not pretty
I may be mistletoe
But I can't bring any harmony
I try too hard but my accomplishments are never bold

Every day it feels I am living in a retirement home
But I'm not nearly ready to settle down...

Am I anyones brother
Am I anyones sibling?
Am I a magnet to anything?
Or just a poison in someones drink?
Am I anyones brother?
Or was I just adopted from a lost cause
I just want to be a special friend
Without you I feel lost...
I feel lost...

There's so many things I've never got to tell anyone
So much to say but no way to say it it seems
I try to assemble a second family reunion
But I am just whispering in my sleeve
My sisters always say they pity me
Maybe I just have high expectations
But I'm always willing to knock on someone's door
And it's so hard to get an invitation

Magic mirror on the wall, tell me am I worthy?
Do I deserve to be liked and loved or am I missing something?

Am I anyones brother
Am I anyones sibling?
Am I a magnet to anything?
Or just a poison in someones drink?
Am I anyones brother?
Or was I just adopted from a lost cause
I just want to be a special friend
Without you I feel lost...
I feel lost...

Magic mirror on the wall, tell me am I worthy?
Do I deserve to be liked and loved or am I missing something?

Am I anyones brother
Am I anyones sibling?
Am I a magnet to anything?
Or just a poison in someones drink?
Am I anyones brother?
Or was I just adopted from a lost cause
I just want to be a special friend
Without you I feel lost...
I feel lost...

Does anyone care...
Does anyone care...
Does anyone care...
Does anyone care...

Well, guess who I found, my friend?
You, my friend

Hon, you deserve to be loved and liked! You are not missing a thing. You are a special person loved by us and loved especially by God. Now don't you go getting down on yourself.

Hugs, Marti

Noah, I was surprised when I read this. Not because it was so good, (all of your work is), but because it made me sad. You are the most humble person I know if you think that you don't matter to anyone. You bring so much joy to the lives of those of us on these pages. I can only imagine the joy you bring to those you are around in your every day life. They are truly lucky to have such a wonderful person in their life, as are we. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself.

Yes, there is certainly sadness to this piece of work Noah....
....and even though it carries that sadness, it's very well done.

Proud to have a brother with the courage to speak his heart, and not just his mind.

Ah sidekick!
You sound so sad!
You are very worthy of love and appreciation.
We all love you here at your Passions family.
Hey!  Email me sometime, okay?
