ECHOES

If my emotions have an echo,
Will the echo ever fade?
Or will I keep reliving them?
Is that the price that’s paid?
The darkness. It’s never ending.
I cannot escape the shade.
I try and keep on running but..
No progress is ever made.
Cannot seem to crest the hill.
Never make it to the glade.
But I see every piece of grass.
Every single, unique blade.
Always letting myself down.
Like a failing grade.
So tired of the hurt and pain,
But not healing from the jade.
Why are there no answers?
For all the times I’ve prayed?
Always reaching for someone.
But no one has ever stayed.
The echoes keep on coming
Like a song that is replayed.
I can’t handle too much more.
My nerves are truly frayed.
I think I have my answer.
It’s me who’ll start to fade.
I’m gonna embrace my echoes.
And attempt to no longer be afraid.

  1. Your welcome ♥

  2. The mood is sad, unfortunate though; anyhow we can console ourselves with the fact that there’s good eternal life after death if we believe in God because in heaven there’s no marriage but celibacy

    1. I do believe in the afterlife. And even though it might seem like our prayers aren’t always answered, I think it’s because God has something better in store for us instead of what you might have prayed for. I know my poetry isn’t always uplifting but I have to write it all down so that it doesn’t continue living on in my mind. Thank you for your comment! You always shine so bright! ♥️

I'd love to hear what you think about this piece. Thanks for reaching out!
