Humpty-Dumpty By: Noah Eaton 9/1/02 Take all these pieces, sweep them in the corner The yolk has long seeped through the tiles, bleaching to sulfer I can't do it, I can't make a last resort Don't you know no one owns the throne anymore? I'm Falling... Falling to the ground... Falling... Falling without a sound... Falling... Crashing like a crater to the ground... You have your ego, you have your caveats It won't take long before your denial seeps through the cracks There is no time to hesitate I've spent too much time breathing underneath your mistakes I'm Falling... Falling to the ground... Falling... Falling without a sound... Falling... Crashing like a crater to the ground... When will you realize no kings men can save me? I sacrificed all my trust for you But all you do is stare and watch me splatter behind your portcullis Don't tell me, please, let me guess You're just going to make everything a mess I have no warm nest to snuggle upon So I might as well be buttered As an omelette for a hungry Jack... I'm Falling... Falling to the ground... Falling... Falling without a sound... Falling... Crashing like a crater to the ground... When will you realize no kings men can save me? I sacrificed all my trust for you But all you do is stare and watch me splatter behind your portcullis When will you realize no kings men can save me? I sacrificed all my trust for you But all you do is stare and watch me splatter behind your portcullis When will you realize no kings men can save me? I sacrificed all my trust for you But all you do is stare and watch me splatter behind your portcullis (This is based on my feelings from my childhood, when I was trying to be optimistic but suffered from depression and for so long I had to depend on myself without anyones help I yearned so much for!  )"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

I'm falling... Falling to the ground... Falling without a sound... Falling... Crashing like a crater to the ground. This has incredible impact (pardon the pun!) Noah, your apparent lack of support, in your formative years, must have been very difficult for you. Your inner strength and your appreciation of the beautiful things in life, helped pull you through those painful experiences and made you into the man we all love today! God bless you sweet prince of the PIP people! Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (09-01-2002 11:37 PM).] |

your words are strung together as if by someone far beyond your years...your struggles through childhood seem to have tempered you as if steel, yet you are not rigid, but tender, feeling and loving a miraculous thing has occurred in you, I believe Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Awwww...sweet Noah, this is such a touching, heartfelt poem. It brings tears to my eyes. You should be so proud of yourself for picking yourself up and putting your own self back together again. A very brave thing to do. hugs to you for this!!! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

This is 'egg-cellent'...okay, corny jokes aside, this truly is well written coming from a teenager. You used a great theme to convey your emotions, this is vivid and painful to read. I deem this a keeper! And, you've inspired me to write. Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
