Scratching and clawing
BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!
The whispers gnawing at my mind
Many at a time!
One by one they’d grown silent
The Quiet silences all one whisper came
The Quiet tears apart your soul…
…Slowly…
The Quiet has a name
Though…
You’ll never learn it
Until it has overtaken you
Pray you never know the name
Though you will
Inevitably
The Quiet takes everyone…
I kept peeling at my flesh
I couldn’t stop
I was lost in twisted thoughts
Not sure what was real
Only that
Death would have me soon
Or perhaps it had
I don’t remember much
I’ve clearly gone
MAD!!!!!
Why can’t I stop?!
Why won’t it end?!
WHY AM I SCRATCHING?????!!!!!
AGAIN AND AGAIN?????!!!!!
I can see veins
My skin is clearly gone
I bleed…
HAHA!
YES!
I BLEED MORE AND MORE!
I see the dark blood
Falling to the floor!
I LIKE IT!
I LIKE RIPPING AT THE CORDS
BENEATH MY SKIN
I LOVE LOSING MY THOUGHTS
DO I EVEN HAVE A FAMILY?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The fleshy bits are gone
The red is all that is left
RED AND CORDS! RED AND CORDS!
KEEP RIPPING AND TEARING!
THE PAIN IS GOOD!
A piece of me screams inside
Telling me to stop
Yet I must continue
I am compelled to do so
I have to…
That’s what it wants…
The Quiet tells all
Arm is not enough
MUST RIP THE FLESH FROM MY FACE!!!!!
FIND A MIRROR TO THE SOUL
RIP THE SKIN OFF SLOWLY
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT FACE
GO ON! GET GOING!!!!!!!
Finding a mirror I broke off a piece
I CARVED SLOWLY!
No more whispers
No more pain
The Quiet has overtaken my brain
The silence says many things
GO ON KEEP CUTTING!
MORE BLOOD IS A GOOD THING!
From the darkness and the silence I hear…
…My Name?…
-Echo: The Quiet-
