The Echoes of Loneliness

Saturated in thoughts of better-off days I reminisced and dreamed of my youth. A whispered hush in my mind creates a forsaken tune that cannot escape me. For the cynic in me has risen and now my essence is craving to be reborn… once again. Disempowered and sabotaged by my own thoughts, I have opted out of a life too good to live without remorse. Toxic to the worst degree is always me, and I am shadowed into a lethal dose of venom that clouded my brain’s judgement. This repetition of an acrimonious voice has polluted me- and I shall be echoed in the chains of loneliness forever. Plucking The Poisonous Parrot Poetry Contest Maureen McGreavy January 14, 2019
