IT/ IT ECHOES
It
By Kadie Chambers
Sometimes it’s like a black hole
That you’re sucked into
And you don’t know why
When you sleep, it creeps
Winding it’s power around you
Slowly suffocating
You don’t know what’s wrong
It’s indestructible, invisible
Unreachable
You try to put it into words
It comes out as
Silence
You sit and think
Think hard
When you don’t know what you’re thinking
You’re happy, sad
Then mad
You don’t understand
Why
You try to keep busy
To ignore it
But it keeps nagging
You laugh
And stop
Because it silences you
Too many questions
No answers
Silence
Soon you become it
The silence
At it’s worst
You laugh, cry,
Get angry, love
But it’s still there
You are the silence
And inside you
It echoes
