Echos

Echos

The voices of the past which echo in 
our heads, the ones that we keep 
deeply and secretly locked up in our 
subconscious souls. The ones that creep 
back out on gentle winds, on the 
brightest of days when the rustling of 
the leaves cannot subdue the loud 
screams of their tortured calls. The 
tides of emotion which ebb and flow 
with each resilient burst, we must 
quickly try to keep at bay. For those 
voices so distant, so far away, corrupt 
the dreams we dream today. They do 
not fit into our visions, they don't 
conform to our desires, and have no 
concern of future unknowns. But yet 
they still travel with us and they are 
there to remind us. That sometimes it 
is better to let go.
