Gallows
Into the gallows I walk up slow
Hoping for a Way in
Never reflecting on things I've done
Knowing I merit this walk of shame
Embracing it
Owning up to my tainted name
Feeling the shame well up
Casting a look around
I see nameless faces
They throw stones
Call me names
Half did what I did
But I pay
It's ok I'll see them in hell one day
I'll just close my eyes as everyone fades slowly away
Chopping off my neck was on my list of things to do today.
