The Hanging Poem by Darren Harris

Walking around and around,
Crazy thoughts racing,
Contemplating,
Mind over loaded,
Brain imploded,
Walking around and around,
Mind still racing,
Still contemplating,
Rope hangs loose,
As I tie the noose,
On the stairs standing,
Mind misplacing,
Heart accelerating,
Mind still deliberating,
Testing the length,
Calibrating,
Gasping for air,
Nobody there,
Can’t reach the stairs,
Noose is tightening,
Thoughts more frightening,
Crying, dying, life ebbing away,
I should have died, died today?
