A Souls Echo

The echo of a soul is me

It’s all that’s left of what you see

At one time I was whole and pure

Joyful, happy, and demure

 

But then this life, it took a twist

And now my soul is sorely missed

I am a wraith, I am not free

An echo of what once was me

 

If only fate would give it back

Not one moment would I waste or lack

But time is stubborn and I’m here

A hollow shell of strife and fear

 

I only know pain and fatigue

And through the years it’s eaten me

Now all that’s left a souls echo

Just half a life that cannot go

    what an excellent writer you are! this captures so well feelings i've owned myself. fate is such an interesting one. it gives, it takes, on the smallest of things it turns and its effects can be lifelong. really you just never know, but i do know that it does give it back to you, only to take it again, and over and over. fate can't be escaped, sometimes it is good sometimes it is not, just have to roll with the punches. Happy New Year!
