Echo Is All Around Me

In the darkness of all expression Lives the pain I'll never forget it's a hunger ripping beneath me my soul deep with regret This echo is all around me It tries to enter my head The voices of illusion telling me that I am dead How do I find my doorway With no guidance by my side You were all that I needed You were my morning light Darkness is my best friend now And the room is cold as ice This feeling of loneliness that surrounds me Is my punishment of life

Peter Benstock did not write this. He is incapable of such literary expression. He may have inspired it, but his vocabulary does not include some of these words, and he cannot spell many of those he knows. This is spam!

P.S. If I were you, I would change the "form" of this write to Rhyme as in an Acrostic the first letter in each line spells something out reading down and your write rhymes every other line. Check the "Forms of Poetry under Resources on the left of Poetry-Home. They're going to get a little pickier in the 2nd round and I'd hate to see you loose out because of an incorrect form. Hope you don't mind my pointing this out .... smile ....
