Hangman Hang Low

January 28, 2013
By Anonymous

Ever seen that kid
the lonely one in your class
the jokes played, some you did
an to her you'd always be an a**?
False friendship is considered a lie.
Never tell her, right?
That's a noose knot's tie.

Ever heard that girl
cry, scream, and shout
and you wondered what is was about?
Rumors and gossip always hurt.
She'll never hear them, right?
That's the chair standing by.

Ever been to a grave
where people stand alone
cry over the last place
their loved one laid?
Well, that's where I am, yep.
Not the one standing there, though.
I'm the one that took the deadly step.

The moral of this tale?
I haven't got a clue.
But some advise I'll tell you,
Be kind to those around you,
for who knows if they'll play hangman.

When I wrote this one I was really down because I had just found out that a lot of the kids I hung out with were just doing it to make fun of me, but I wasn't in on the joke.
