stripped
I cry
and peel another skin
the one below
the one before
is much too thin

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Helen, this is so so sad, my heart cries out to the pain you felt before, and I pray now a new hope  and joy has emerged for you! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

a intriguing read..i hope someday the personna will feel able to expose himself/herself rather than continue to peel off skins...
