Penciled Thoughts

The Echoes



The echoes of my loneliness, scream inside my brain.

Draws the life right out of me, driving me insane.

When I look around me, there's nothing but the air.



Father, why is this, I don't think it's fair?

There's emptiness all around me, a vail covers my eyes.

No matter what I do, there's vacuum in my tries.

Just give me one reason, to come from behind this mask.

To only be trampled, fail at every task.



I stand here as I wonder, as I wander inside my mind.

I toss me and I throw me down, to me I'm not so kind.

Them there came a Spirit, to lift my very soul.

To take this scattered being, blending to make me whole.



But evils voice haunt, me talks both night and day.

Tells me how bad I am, blowing me away.

Frightened as a door mouse, I scurry and I scat.

Only to be eaten by life, the prowling cat.



Can you hear my heartbreak, I don't know where to go.

My mind is full of nothingness, my words can't even flow.

So I will stand in forever, with no one else around.

The smile has left my face, replaced there with a frown.



Again there is that screaming, in pain I cannot bear.

The echoes of my long ago, show I'm not even there.

And the echoes of my loneliness, scream inside my brain.

Draws the life right out of me, driving me insane.
