Echoes of the Mind

unknownfemalepoet


Notice of absence from unknownfemalepoet
If you notice me offline its probably because im either working, at school, or just staring at the ceiling or reading

In the quiet corners where shadows blend
I wander through a labyrinth, no guide to lend
Thoughts swirl like autumn leaves in a gust
Each one a whisper, fragile, yet robust

A corridor stretches, lined with echoes past
Memories flicker, fleeting but steadfast
I chase the wisps of laughter, sharp and bright
But they dissolve in darkness, swallowed by night

Once a garden, vibrant, alive with bloom
Now tangled thorns encroach, a suffocating gloom
Petals of hopes lie scattered on the floor
A symphony silenced, once loud, now no more

I search for a compass, a star in the haze
But all I find are mirrors, reflecting my maze
Faces stare back, but their eyes are unknown
The pages of the story no longer my own

The ticking of clocks morphs into a hum
A reminder that time marches, relentless, it comes
Yet I’m a still-life, a painting in flux
Caught in the canvas, with colors mixed up

Thoughts spiral higher, then tumble and fall
A tightrope of sanity, a waltz with the pall
“Stay grounded,” they whisper, in tones soft as silk
Yet gravity falters, in this ocean of milk

Every heartbeat echoes, a drum in my chest
“Are you lost?” they ask, “Why don’t you just rest?”
“How can I rest when the world’s out of sight?”
When mind’s a tempest, a never-seen fight

I find little pathways, some filled with despair
But others are sunny, where joy fills the air
A gleam of connection, a flicker of praise
A moment, a heartbeat, a soft, warm embrace

Poems spin like spider webs, threadbare yet fine
Every word a reflection, a landscape divine
I write down my chaos, my fears on the page
Transforming the turmoil into quiet sage

Then dawn breaks anew, through cracks in the dark
Each ray a reminder, a gentle spark
“This brain’s not a prison,” I start to believe
It’s a canvas unfolding, in colors we weave

So I’ll dwell in this space, with its shadows and glow
Embrace every fragment, the ebb and the flow
For though I am lost, in the tangle I tread
I’m finding my way, through the whispers in my head

Each crooked step forward, each stumble, each fall
Carries the weight of the echoes, their call
I’m a traveler here, in this maze of the mind
A seeker, a dreamer, forever entwined
