THE NOOSE

it never stopped

it keeps beckoning, calling me

a friendly voice in my head 

conversing with me all the time

it points me to that corner 

showing me the already tied noose

the rope strong and firm

what a beautiful-tragic way to quit this life

but these are the friends I have 

cause they understand how I feel

the voice keeps me company 

even consoles me when I'm in my lonely corner

I'm bittered and battered but no one cares 

I continuously give a piece of myself away 

to friends who are down and depressed 

but none cared if I'm okay 

when I'm all alone

that voice consoles me

I've fought these for too long 

wo! I don tire, there's no strength left in me

should I? would I? could I?

missing me is optional for anyone 

of cause people only tell you how much they love you 

once you're six feet dead asleep

as I write this hope you who read this is okay

try and be better than me for I am already lost 

already at the edge of no return

the noose awaits me
