Hangman's Truth


Played hangman once, I lost; nothing left to lose, Sinking deep within my soul, Now then I must choose; Live a life of misery, Leave the world behind, Shock the world, lifeless truth, Or continue to live, but why; Every fear, doubt, and hurt In my life has shone; But still I know the reason Why my thinking's wrong; The ones I love; yes it's true, I too love like you; But still you see darkness, It's me, what am i to do; Do they care, can they see, As before their eyes I choose, Standing there in shadows bare, Will they cut free the noose?
