The Echoes poetry competition to celebrate Write Out Loud's 20th anniversary is now open.  Judged by Neil Astley.

Competition closes in 5 days, 17 hours. Get details and Enter.

Reality Cycle

A fractured soul

  trapped in a perfect body.

Leading a life of lies

  hoping to be a somebody.

 

Losing at life

  wanted to quit the game.

Trying to find a way out

  always ended the same.

 

Listening to outside voices

  starts the process over again.

Jumping at every chance

  to end the countless pain.

Love the poem. Hope it is not your reality. I know I've had so many days like this but hang in to see what tomorrow brings.
