The Final Answer Like a shadow cut of blackest night, she comes. My final answer was among differences and sums. Loss, how you linger, how you burn. Yet, I sadly remain taciturn. I am the weak, the wounded, the fallen; We are cast about the world like pollen. Broken and reduced to nothing,-- About to absorb everything. The future remains unwritten- To an end with lies-how fitting ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 09:38:07 -0400 From: "Robert A. Peate" Subject: ET: beyond the pain beyond the pain, there is love. underneath it all and behind it. draw it out, heal the pain, know that love forgives you. i am pained, we are strained, but you still have the power to make it right. and i trust you will. beyond the pain, there is love. underneath it all and behind it. draw it out, heal the pain, know that love forgives you. - --robert a. peate *for tara, robin, and steven*. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 15:27:45 GMT From: "~* cymbaline *~" Subject: ET: RE: the truth I must say I see alot of myself in Steve. Here I was, a young girl at 14, deciding that the only way to end my days of depression, was to end my life. I too, wrote messages on the internet, stating my longing to end it all. And like Steve, I never cared about what other people had to say. But I soon, I only talked about it w/ one person online who, years later, I realize helped me tremendously. I stopped acting out on my suicidal thoughts a year and a half ago. Sure, I seriously consider it at times, but No, I won't do it. While usually see people's public posts talking of killing themselves as a plea for help, I really think Steve is serious. I hope that someone can get through to him, if they haven't already. I hope he can come to realize there's other ways to deal.

(just writes whatever comes to mind, sensible or not) ~Sly "What consumes your thoughts controlls your life" - -Creed - ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Brian H" To: eda-thoughts@smoe.org Subject: ET: i had the wierdest night last night Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 21:29:36 CDT Ok, now. I have a lot to say. =) Last night I tried a new style of writting poetry. You just think of something, and you let your mind take it somewhere. I kind of think of it as a way to communicate with your soul. It's kinda a wierd concept. But I got mine, and what I wrote was very disturbing. Not really, it was just kind of dark and mysterious, and that scared me. So then I kept doing it, and kept doing it. And then finally I wrote the word "help" on a piece of paper. That scared me. And so I just turned off the lights and laid in bed. So then I just was singing to myself, not out loud, angel standing by. So that kind of calmed me down. Then my mind went through, Amen. And when I got to, eyes stare up but somethings in the way. I stopped the song completley. I honestly did feel something above me. Not physical, but like... you know. So by now I'm just scared half to death because it's late at night, and I emptied myself out onto those pages into poetry. And I laid there for a long long time, until I fell asleep. Isn't that creepy. It was one of those nights when my mind got mushy. :) I also wrote a lot of new poems latley that I want to post with you guys!!

Ironic Indecision Pensive and powerless, I wipe the star-dust from my eyes. Lost in a moment, lost in forever, I am yearning for you; It sears my soul. I vainly muster my valor; I must tell you the truth. You are my sun, sky, and stars; My whole world. I gaze at your pedestal of perfection; complete ecstasy ensues. My courage collapses. I am a craven poet, suffering in silence, and unworthy of you. I am too paralyzed by possible rejection, to realize rhapsody. My shadow-side steals forth, then stabs my soul. My doom is determined, my destiny decided. The insidious shade, has done its duty. It stops my life-drum, in ironic indecision. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 20:40:51 PDT From: "Jeremy Hodgins" Subject: ET: Your poetry....
