Crybaby

as I look at the
blood shot eyes,
i STARE
and bitter tears role off the cheek,
as a stifled sob
Goes unheard again
as a selfish heart cries IN DISGUST
AT the ugliness
brought out of me
ME
shown IN THE MIRROR
for all to see.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Andrew, this is so sad, never say that to yourself, you are a very loving friend and joy to us all and we all love you so much for who you are! (sigh) Always follow your heart and believe in yourself, sweet friend, you are all you need to be always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Andrew, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh my gosh...the power of your feelings here touch me...My heart goes out to you in your pain...you know most often we are harder on ourselves than others are for we look into the mirror and see only what we can see which blinds us to the good in us...sometimes it is better to look at ourselves through anothers eyes....**big hugs** Don't be too hard on yourself...

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This brought on tears.
It paints a very vivid picture.
I like it.  Continue on...

Oh Sweetie... Love I don't know what to say... It breaks my heart when you feel this way...

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.

Oh I just got the most interesting idea...

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.

Oh, wow.

I can't do a deep response at the moment.... obviously. But know I loved it. I respect your talent.

This is powerfully sad, but nicely written.

andrew:

this was an extremely powerful
write...very emotional and melancholy.
but that isn't necessarily a bad thing,
sometimes we feel this way and i think
it's best to write it out as you are.
write on my friend! great job...just do
yourself a favor, don't be so hard on
yourself, as others here have said often
times we are much harder on ourselves than
the rest of the world. take care!

Very intensive write, and I thought your presentation of the poem was excellent, the format was very effective.  Thanks for sharing.
