Echo In The Shadows

Echo In The Shadows

By: Carissa M Lovgren

A tangled web of words echo in my mind
Lost and found, my spirit is free yet,
I feel bound
Chains of fear close me in.


What are we doing here?
Why do we breath?
My mission, I cannot conceive
I hear it call to me
A voice in the shadows of my mind


Alluring and intimidating
I feel weary, my heart beats hard
Back and forth, my eyes follow what I cannot see
How will I know where to go
Questions flood my saturated brain


Compelling, mesmerizing
Damn that echo
Damn that voice!
Leave my head
Leave me to make my choice!
