The end of my rope

You tied the noose that I hang from
I stare at the writing on the wall
I feel like all the words are written wrong
My feet can’t find the stall
I wish my thoughts would just be gone

I am the rope in which they tie
I can’t seem to shape the future of my life
Got me thinking am I the one who’s ready to die
I decided to roll the dice 
Sick of living a lie
Why did I think twice
Now I’m begging for a reason why

Powerful and emotionally bound with very dark overtones. I also was moved by your first poem posted on the home this week. Welcome to the Poetrysoup community poet. Thanks for sharing!
