Lay down inside you
level by level,
the structure,
the influences.
Let it seep between
the cracks and
cloud your judgement.
Change your everything
without you
even knowing.

No drive to see you through
to strive your stride
and lift your head.
No talents to distract,
offer and possibilities
are impossible and
beyond all hope.
Despair as you sit,
unable to decide,
idle your life
away as you
pray for inspiration.
The wall will not
answer.

Echoes and Edges
Someone on my course recommended Echoes and Edges to me for my poetry and music research. They’re perfect, exactly what I was imaging and looking for. I want to either try contacting them or submitting work to them very soon. I’m hoping to write/create something for my master class this term using my poetry and music research.
