Trouble
By: Noah Eaton
12/14/01

Am I trouble to all of you?
Am I just a nuisance?
Am I a fool without a clue?
Do you think I’m stupid?

I never meant to do anyone wrong
I never meant to cause trouble
I just want to speak friendship’s song
Or is my heart just fuddled?

Should I ever open my mouth again?
Would I only misunderstand?
Do I deserve to be loved?
Should I detach from this circle of hands?

Am I just a stupid thing?
For all I’ve ever wanted to be
Is your friend and sunshine
Just as you are to me…

(big hugggssss) Oh thank you so much, sweet Susan, for your beautiful reply. I felt like writing this poem after reading a response to anothers poem to a comment I made with the smileys I always use that I think made the poet upset, and I couldn't help but think if I was a bad influence to you and everyone else here too. (sigh) I never meant to make anyone feel upset, for I love everyone here so much and only use smileys as a sign of affection and friendship, nothing more. (big hugggssssss) Thank you so much, sweet friend, you are such a wonderful friend to me as are many others here!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, they've put up with me and i've been more trouble than most!!  You certainly are not.  Can I say something?  I think it takes a lot of courage to splash your feelings out here like this, but honey, it takes a toll.
Be gentle with yourself, don't worry about what anyone thinks, just write, reply in kind and be peaceful. That's all that matters. It really is.

Noah: You should never feel sorry for who you are, I am new here and you all embraced me sometimes warmer than most r/l friends and family, and for that I truly adore each and every person I have gotten to know here.
Dont EVER change, I was troubled by the remark that was harshly given to you as well, and for that I couldnt help but comment through my write (A Cyber Affair)

Please take comfort knowing people around you like you for you and never want you to change your warmth in your heart.

Hugs

Noah, you are a good, kind, decent person. You embody the spirit of this poetry site. If your comments lean toward a little over-exuberance at times, you do it in the spirit of friendship and love for all with no ulterior motives. Please don't change. You are a good man with a heart the size of my ex-wife's mouth!   There are many here who appreciate you...I am one.

Noah, you are such a kind soul.  Sometimes even people like me, who tend to laugh loud, get trampled on to "be quiet".  So I go around, whispering laughter....

Noah, I didn't see the remark but please do not let anyone bother you. Your symbols are the smilies....I love them. It is how you respond. We each have our own way. You embrace us all in your unique kind of way. Do not let one person get to you. **big hugs**

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

Noah...I agree totally with what Balladeer
said...You are a young man...the way you
reply sometimes makes some people feel you
are overly responsive....too flowery...but
they just don't know that you are who you
are....and that is how you are...IT IS OK..

We all feel you write beautifully.  For
your age...you write exceptionally..

Spend less time worrying about what people
might think of you...think more of the gift
that you have...and I think most of us
understand that you are a very warm and
genuine young man...  That has never been
doubted by me...  

Temper your replies a little bit...less
flowery maybe...but don't stop giving the
heartfelt thoughts you have...they are
appreciated...

You are appreciated too.

    No matter what anyone says to you or writes to you.. you are a wonderful and sweet person.  Don't listen to them.. pay no mind. I've seen the reply you talked about.. and I'm sorry people have to be that way. *hugs* to you my friend.  You are an amazing writer with even more of an amazing heart. Please remember that always.

Noah...WHO MADE YOU UPSET?
You are not a nuisance! You are an inspiration here! I can see how sad you are, and let me just tell you how wonderfully uplifting your presence is. Thank you, my friend for reading my work and being such a wonderful supporter here. No one could replace you! If you need to talk I have ICQ.
          

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DARLINGS....

Hi Noah!

In a couple of days, you'll reach your one year anniversary with Passions in Poetry. Congratulations!!!

I know when I see your name on a reply that you are going to (hug) and (kiss) me...sometimes that's all I need to make my day a bit brighter. Sometimes, I get a warm smile because I know that in giving such love to all of us here, you are also gaining our love and respect. You are a dear, sweet, kind person. Don't be upset. Reply with the same sweet sincerity that you always do...I for one enjoy it!!!

Ahhh Noah!  Who hurt your feelings hon?
Don't you listen to them, and you know we all love you!  You are always one of the first to respond to others posts and always have wonderful comments to make that writer feel good.  You always bring a smile to my face no matter how I am feeling.  You say and do what you feel Noah!  Don't go changing to try to please them...I love you just the way you are....

Noah...I would like to echo what everyone else said because I simply cannot think of any other words to add...
but I am very sorry that someone hurt you.
You have always been extremely generous and kind to me...and I really have come to enjoy your beautiful graphics.
Please don't cry.

Noah, I am not here nearly as much as I'd like to be anymore and have somewhat faded into the scenery, but I watch and read and reply when I can and I believe you have a very sweet soul.  And that is what matters.  I am young like yourself (you're 18 too, correct?) and sometimes the way we see the world can be different than others.  There's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it can serve us well to tread lightly and make sure we're being kind and not accidently sending the wrong message to others.  Like I said, I can see how sweet and how beautiful your spirit seems to be and I hope that you will continue to post and show how sincere your heart is.  Hugs to you, don't let unkind comments of some damper your enthusiasm.

Hi sweetness,

You are no Trouble at all! Whoever made you feel this sad obviously doesn't know you very well at all! If they could see what I see in you, then they would see a very caring, mature, loving young man! There are going to be people in this world who will hurt your feelings, but trust me Noah, take it with a grain of salt because what other's think do no matter. Keep being your sweet, kind-hearted self and everything will be just fine, You Noah what I mean? hehe
hugs and kisses

He's a mean one Mr. Grinch!

AHAH!  I see the Grinch tried to snitch your spirit but don't you let him.  You are no trouble and whatever has happened to make you think you are, ignore it!  You can't change who you are, but you sure can ignore who they are, and be the better person right?  You add a lot to the forums and your exuberant postings (that I am sure take a lot of time to complete) are well meant and heart-warming Noah.  You are always well received as we all care about you just the way you are. So, Mr. Mistletoe Angel - let's see that bright shiny smile again, and don't let the mean ole Grinch dampen your spirit. (kiss on the cheek) -   did I get that right? LOL

you see??  do you understand now??  

just when you think that you're a problem. . . you find out what you really are. . . and that's a friend. . . someone who makes a difference in the lives of others. . . someone who spreads love and joy to a world that so desperately needs it. . .

so. . . put that halo back on my friend. . . and wear it with pride. . . never change who you are. . . and always know that even when it seems that you're alone. . . you're not. . .there are always others with you. . .

great poem, btw. . . you just lay it right out. . .

Noah - if someone has done something, or written harsh words to or about you, please don't pay them anymind. I consider you a friend, and if you need to talk send me an email, please... Oh, by the way, I'm looking forward to a duet with you. If you didn't receive my email, here goes.

I'd like to do one about Christmas with you. If you would send me a poem with three or four verses to it, I will then respond with my writing. I will then send it back to you for your approval, and then we can post it. Be waiting for your email.

And remember, there are a lot of dummies out there, so pay them no nevermind. Friends are friends, and I consider you one of mine.
