Echo of Black

Pain seeps deep within my soul
I burn, I hate, I cry, no control
I scream out to the air
surrounded by black
hearing my own echo answer me back

I look quickly around me
for someone else close
no one understands me
or the things I want most

Who will except me
different from the rest
I'm like the ugly duckling
pushed from it's nest

Everyone hates me
and I hate them back
my life is a shadow
an echo of black
