.coffins Don'T Fill Themselves.

The rope is in my hands
My hands begin to sweat
the sweat drips off my fingers. 
I start to feel regret.

I'm stuck in this stronghold.
The feelings are too bold.
I'll fill the empty mold
With my body.

Wow! this piece is so strong. The voice in this poem is yelling and the rope is looking more enticing. Very powerful write. Chris.
