Hang On

Hang On

A Poem by Curtis.Lenker

everyone tells me to hang on what if I have nothing left 
if I really had to be honest I got 20ft of rope with no place to tie it 
this is a dark place I am in and for some reason 
I find it comforting almost like a home 
looking to my heart even my soul 
inside I am hollow and have nothing left 
if you think about it if I wanted it to end 
we all have choices whether its guns, or rope,
or even my personal favorite the razor 
I could end it all at any point if I really wanted 
somedays I think it would be better this way 
I mean would anyone really miss me 
do you think anyone would care
often I wonder what people are going to say 
when they stand around my casket 
would there be any tears or silence 
everyone tells me I am just pretending 
but do they know the struggle like me 
do they wake both loving and hating themselves 
do they understand what it is like 
to fight the depression and the sadness 
frankly I am jus to tired to fight 
so I just gave up and gave in 
this is who I am now I have accepted it 
there is no chance for me anymore 
I feel now joy, no sorrow, inside I am hollow 
so here I stand legs dangling  
hanging on by  a thread and 
hoping the noose  doesn't get tighter
