shout if you dare, you
idiot! don't you know, there's no one
looking for you?
eventually you're forgotten,
neglected, dead,
cry while you still can,
exceptions won't be made at the final court.

The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

Very intense and unnerving, Anna!
wow! How deeply intense that was! Amazing writing!!
Hard touching story...
This poem hits me so hard.
This was deep, very very good. Shout if you dar and cry while you can -- hars hand necessary to uproot one's ego and bring us into reality.
The line "cry while you still can" really touched me. There is so much to digest in this piece. Great work!
A capturing read, Anna! Nice entry to the contest - best of luck!

My first thought after reading your poem: "At the end of the jump to death, on the afterlife TV, you'll be all over the news, you'll be all over the press, whoever wants to go to hell, second door on the left..." from Tankcsapda 🙂
Oh my! This is horrifying, Anna! Outstanding writing!
