    Echo
    Voices in my head
    Whispering on my ear
    Telling me I'm not good enough
    To end my life
    To take away the pain forever
    That I'm unwanted - a burden


    I took down all the mirrors
    Because every time I gazed in one
    I saw a girl long dead
    Eyes haunted and empty
    Staring back at me

    I want to rip off my skin
    Tear at my soul
    To kill the echo
    Of these predatory ghosts
    Ringing in my head

    Maybe I'm better off dead
    What reason is there for hanging on...

    well for starters...talent and beauty perhaps? those are good ones! Good write, although a bit dismal.

    No one is bettrr off dead. Llife however, manytimes makes us feel this wayy. But we don't haveto choose to say unhappy. We always have good memories bu tsometimes dwell on the ones of pain more...Remember life is only as good as we make it. WE write our own script on God's canvas. So feel God's beauty. It is all around and worth living for.

    Strong, I felt it loud and clear. I've been there before, I've found my reasons. Hope you found yours.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
