Where Echoes Hide

Negativity echoes in the distressed mind Crashing like Tsunami waves with beatings well timed I am no good... I am no good... I am no good... I am no good... Words echo in my mind! Words echo in my mind! Negativity echoes in the distressed mind Crashing like Tsunami waves with beatings well timed I am no good... I am no good... I am no good... I am no good... No inner peace can I find. No inner peace can I find. Empty recesses , amplify tunes of abuse Allowing discordant echoes in a mind obtuse. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? I ask myself I ask myself I ask myself I ask myself Empty recesses , amplify tunes of abuse Discordant exhalations in a mind obtuse. Words echo in my mind Words echo in my mind Words echo in my mind Words echo in my mind Negativity echoes in the distressed mind Crashing like Tsunami waves with beatings well timed Empty recesses, amplify tunes of abuse Discordant exhalations of a mind obtuse. Change the channel! Do it now! Before you die inside! Don't allow negativity to grow in the hollows of your mind because... That's the place where malevolent echoes hide. December 09,2015

John, the repetitions of the echoes and the follow up in the echoing stanza sealed it ....Thanks for participating in the contest.

Thanks John I really appreciate that you liked it. I thought it was a little too much echo but I guess not! Was Ian's idea to intersperse echo's inside the poem, so he gets credit too!

Hi Ian Thanks for your visit and comment, I think you have a good idea about having the echo hide in the text of the poem, that's brilliant. I'll see if there is time to make an adjustment. Thanks for your critique very much appreciated.
