Echo of My Mind

Echo of My Mind
By Margie Anne Bernard 

I heard the words spoken with brutal force. 
No escape, no place to run. 
Silently, I listened to the echo of my mind. 
Words softly spoken in a gentle way, 
Come with me, child. 
Silent prayers, when will it end? 
I hear an echo floating on the wind. 
Is it my destiny? Or the echo of my mind? 
I turn away, no fear, no pain, 
Just the echo of my mind. 
Flowers beckoning me to the wall. 
Silently, I float away 
Amidst the flowers 
Upon the wall. 
A child freed by 
The echo of my mind.
