April’s Fool


at first
I smiled in my dictionary
thinking I knew the meaning
to words I had seen
for I thought I knew you
between the lines where before
I had pushed and pulled
and you had come undone
hidden behind yourself
happy at times escaping
solving a prescribed mind
but I don’t know anything at all
and
what
a
fool
I
am
in thinking that I
could put my faith
in reaching and found
that I find no humor in
just another bitter amusement
of a punch line of pain
hurtfully I ran my eyes
up and down the explanation
of the definition where
birth found me in April
and I understand to you
I am just a joke
thank you but I
am not laughing

"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

Cruel it is for someone to laugh at you. We ARE better than that. Anyone is better than that, that is for sure! No one deserves that, not ever!

There are fools, and then there are fools! I suspect that you're the third kind -- not one at all.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Helen, the joke is on this person, for you are too special and pure to be played on with ridicule, that own sour joke will only scar that person! (sad sigh) I send angel healing hugs your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I know all to well how it hurts to feel the fool... the joke... the laughing stock of someone else......
You are NOT a joke... and neither am I
We are strong powerful women... with vison and passionate hearts....
