Echoes

By DeificLightning

A voice, ever echoing

Like a broken record that ever spins. 

Flawed, weak, inferior, alone, unwanted. 

Never good enough, never smart enough

The voice echoes again and again. 

The record keeps on spinning, drowning all else out. 

Till all that's left is raging, empty darkness. 

And that's when I realize

The voice was mine all along.

    What a chilling ending. I like this because it's short and to the point. :)

    Thanks ^-^ I am glad it had a powerful end then. After all, a strong end is half the battle.

    Sometimes it helps to read the fractured poetry of others to piece together what you yourself are feeling. I'm glad you found my ink helpful. Thanks for reading.

    Awesome write! I was hanging on every line, wasn't expecting that last line which put everything in perspective. Very refreshing!

    I’m glad you liked it. Thank you. This one was actually one of my earlier works I’ve had saved on my phone for a few years now.
