Echo

by Katherine - Aquarius

I'm so eager to call off all the promises
I made to myself
in fear of failing myself
in terror that I will kill myself.
Ripping any residue of my memories
away from my skin,
Washing it so clean that I will sparkle.
Only I will carry the knowledge
of the soiled, soft underbelly
of my made-up face,
of my taped-up heart,
And I will scream with revenge
through a deep and dark cave
that will gather condensation
from the heat of my anger
as it echoes off the walls
and is slowly devoured by the endless mouth,
until I'm driven insane by my own voice,
unable to escape the teeth it possesses.
