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?
