Rope And Tree
School is stress
Homework is anxiety
Kids are bullies
Making me work everyday to survive the prison sentence
Forced to live 4 years in a penitentiary
Cramming information down my through
Having the memorize and recite
Testing and quizzing on useless informational
Walking through the halls is a trap
Needing to blend with the crowd of hopeless
Feeling like prey to the top dogs
Trying to avoid them
But my stems have failed
Day after day then pummel me to a pulp
Not wanting to repeat the cycle over and over
Lost hope
Nothing left for me to do but bottle up the feelings
Hide the bruises and scars
Lock swag in my room
Listen to the depressed
Cut the lines
Plan the end
In secret gathering supplies
1 room
1 chair
1 rope
1 me
Preparing
Writing a letter
Saying goodbye
Hiding his all in the closet
Not wanting to be stopped
Wanting it all to end
The pain
The agony
The building
The perfect moment approaching
I am ready
I am done
Tying the rope
Hanging it
Getting the chair
Placing the letter on the table
Stepping up
One foot
Two feet on the chair
Closing my eyes and taking the last breath
Placing my head in the loop
Opening my eyes
Seeing a child in front of me
A little girl
A little me
An angle of healing
Standing in front of me
Telling me not to give up
Not listening shouting my eyes tight
About to sort off the chair
Hearing a noise
A scream downstairs
Ignoring it
Wanting it all to be over
Doing it taking the step
Hanging
Losing consciousness
Waking up
Hearing the beep of the hospital machines
Monitored to be alive
Given a second chance
Taking that chance and throwing it away
Leveling getting to my car
Going home and stuffing pills down
Passing out
Having an out of body experience
Seeing myself rushed to the hospital once again
Waking up knowing nothing is working
Not allowed to leave the building I walk around
I see all the patients
Adult
Parents
Grandparents
The only teen
Walking more
Seeing a wired door that leads to another building
Going through it
Seeing a bunch of children
That are sick that are all alone
Facing hard and horrible disease
Seeing them on there own
So far from home
Little children sitting in separate rooms
After seeing this I get hope for myself
Seeing a new view in life
These kids are facing hardships but have smiles on their faces
Having fun and living while they still can
I see try and think I need to live long because they can’t
I should not waist my life
I must live for them
Living on knowing life is still happy
Even if it sucks
There is still a point of living
A reason
A purpose
To stay alive
