The World I Leave Behind
A Poem by Echo
As I fill with darkness
the memories swallow me
I wish the pain
would leave me be
But I know
it never will
so I slit my wrist
and watch my blood spill
Letting it pour
over my hand
I'm sorry I failed
this was my last stand
You ended my will to live
my spirt is gone
I stopped living
and the devil has won

This...This one really touched me, in an errie disturbing way. like when you see something and get that ominous feeling inside and shudder, and clamp your eyes shut, but when you open them, the thing you view is creeping closer. You wish it to go away, but it only fades into your body, and you become what it was: A Sinner. I've always thought that the devil was just an angel with a bad temper, and I had faught to keep my soul and life from him. One day, it slipped right out and I have never been the same since. No matter what, you have to fight, and become something you can love. Do not give up. Never give up. I know it's easier said than done, but just remember: It's not in vain. No matter what you do, you can always count on finding the light at the end of the tunnel, with or without scars. With or without a soul, the devil, or God. That light is what you make to be. And in any case, the light is bright. Just reach for it and strive for it. Great artwork! Great write!
