The 360 West Project

By Sarah

She’s blended in, almost invisible

They pass her by like time

No one knowing she’s incredible

She struggles with the signs

Hoping that one day they’ll see her

At night she comes out

Screaming at her torture

Eventually, she thinks, it’ll come and end her

It echoes back

Saying she belongs to it

Keeping her slave to the never-ending suspense

She wants to come out

Wanting someone to save her

But no one ever does

She wants to end

She then finds the other ones

The ones who are blended

She sees herself in them

And tries to save them

As she speaks to the invisible

She doesn’t seem to notice

Her master is slowly fading

She’s becoming like the others

It tries to come back

But its echoes are disappearing

Finding someone else

To tear their whole being
