(September has long been when I was a boy the most depressing month to me, I had nightmares and no one to help me and this is my thoughts on it)



September
By: Noah Eaton
9/2/02

Fathers gone on a business trip
Mothers in a deep sleep
My consciousness is torn to pieces
And I am screaming for mercy
If you found me in fragments tomorrow
I pray each ash could speak to you clearly
I would want that more than anything
Seems like you want it too apparently

So better pray to God I'll remain sane
Patience won't do the job, it only hits me like a train
All the morphine and nubian musk and apologies
Wouldn't be enough to take away all this misery

What would Sigmund Freud say?
If he crawled inside my mind
Victimized in all these epilectic seizures
That bewitch me every night
It seems I am not the patient you're imploring
But rather a clone of me
So escape while there's still time
You don't want to be swallowed deep

So better pray to God I'll remain sane
Patience won't do the job, it only hits me like a train
All the morphine and nubian musk and apologies
Wouldn't be enough to take away all this misery

Don't become a martyr for me
You have already betrayed me once
I'm mummifying myself in hemlock
Hoping I can make it through this September...

So better pray to God I'll remain sane
Patience won't do the job, it only hits me like a train
All the morphine and nubian musk and apologies
Wouldn't be enough to take away all this misery

I lay in bed trying to stay awake, not to fall asleep
Fearing I may not live by the time I wake
I lay in bed trying to stay awake, not to fall asleep
Fearing I may not live by the time I wake...





"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, I hear so much sadness from your childhood. But things are better now, I hope. This September will be a hard one for all, I think.

It defines us
Helping us to appreciate better times
Making the moments that change us forever'

Noah, it breaks my heart that you had such a difficult and seemingly unhappy childhood. Thank goodness your life seems to be so much better now. Keep writing and letting your feelings out.

You are such a sweetie pie and I keep you in my prayers always. You know, I this month is going to be terribly difficult and sad for everyone. However, there is hope and it's important for us all to stick together holding hands and encouraging each other.

Love you my friend, Marti

Noah... This is a beautiful heartbreaking write...
I hope things are better for you than they used to be in September...

I know that last September was horrible for everyone... it was especially twistedly awful for me because I almost lost my remaining child on 9/11... he must have had an angel on his shoulder that day...
and a week later, I was diagnosed with cancer.

Lets hope that this September will be much better for everyone... and I'll try to borrow that angel which was on Victor's shoulder that day and which saved his life, and fly her over to you so that you will have a better September this year.

Noah

There are some months that I dread also, for the memories that come back.  You have written a true hearthurt here...so sad that things like this happen.  They do make you stronger though...trust me.
