Echo

Almost

Some days, I wish my voice could echo; somehow to be heard but I could never burden you with the things I said under my breath. It would only make it worse. You wear a mask so proudly as if it is a crime to cry. I apologize for no longer seeking perfection, my crippled heart already tried. If I told you I needed you, would that really make a change? You already look right through me while I'm trapped in a fools game. The future that I once hoped for now seems so out of reach. Day by day, I'm barely living. At night, I hardly sleep. Today, I wished my voice could echo. If only to be heard. I'm tired of talking to the walls. They aren't good listeners.

    Think of yourself first. Let others come to you. The right partner will arrive when least expected. Search for your own peace, help others find theirs.
    Your writing, your call for an "echo,"
    seemed to me to be just that a search for peace. "Walls are not good listeners" and people are often like walls. Don't beat against them. Reach out to others, until you find the right one
    Your writing sparked this long-winded spurt of philosophy. Much appreciated. Enjoyed it all.- Phil A.

      i’ve related to this deeply for years
      all i can say it
      give yourself a hug and comfort you’re inner child. it’s the best thing to do for yourself
      you’re amazing

        what of your window's, of life
        do they, offer you any insight
        through considered, observation
        maybe a hint, at how
        everyone else is dealing with similar
        overwhelmingly suffocating, issues
        but yet, managed to find a way
        to pull on their inner strength
        and path their progression
        to that next,
        and the next after that
        and on...
        (sorry for your struggles
        hope writing about them
        helps you to realise
        they are not as formidable
        as they want you
        to think they are)
        thanks for sharing
