At the End of My Rope

Stuck in this place 
Full of empty space
Where the deafening silence 
Awaits a verbal embrace

Just one utterance of hope
To be given the strength to cope
And I will unwind the noose 
From the end of my rope

Just one ray of light
To regain my sight
To be able to be set free
 From all of the anger and fright

Unable to bear
This mask of shame I now wear
To keep living this lie
That anyone will even care

But now it’s too late
My feet now fully off the crate
And my body is now free
From my minds loathing and self hate
