How negativity can repeat in the mind unless we make a conscious effort to cut it off.

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.

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.
