6. Echo

"I am okay"
Three words silenced the storm
My smile just added to the norm
Their taunts made my hands shiver
My voice quivering in fear.

My movements became robotic
Making me feel pathetic
The buried dreams taunted my soul
It's pain still crawling in my whole.

The four walls sealed my pain
Saving my mind from turning insane
They made me count my sins
Making exhaustion seep through my limbs.

I tried,I tried really hard this whole time
But they ensured to remind me everytime
That it wasn't enough
And I am just a liability in the rough.

Gripping my hearts chords
I learnt to lessen my words
Silence became my tempo
Mirroring my distress like an echo.
