I wrap my thoughts around me,
tight like the noose,
and hope they will protect me;
instead they devour my will.
Once more I feel alone
and all there is around me: words.
Tangled in my chest
and wrapped around my throat.
Strangled are my cries for help.
Each word: adds to the rope.
I let them out and soon I’m empty
relief would come, if there were hope.
Wrestling with my own sick thoughts,
failing to find its end,
misery fills me up:
step off the side where there’s peace.
