Description
I can see you have your pride.But why must, the truth you hide?
Why can't you tear me from this hell?
From this sight I know to well.
The grim grin of the hangman,
Lying in the noose.
That innocent man,
Not to be cut loose.
He's the only man,
Who know's the truth.
But the hangman,
Plays his life a spoof.
Sacrificing his own life,
So he needn't justify;
All the pain and all the strife.
Well then he deservs to die.
Dragging me just like a chain,
Broken Promise, I heard him say.
He'd never do this again.
But he did it anyway.
Let the pride show on his face,
Im dropping out of this dark race,
Let him lie and let him sin.
Hang the way it's allways been.
The grim grin of the hangman,
Lying in the noose,
To this man,
There's pride in dying with the truth.
That stupid man,
Wouldn't play the proof.
So our hangman's,
Life had been cut-loose.
Though the fault of him is everything,
A prideful petty slave.
But I would give anything.
To free him from that grave.
The grim grin of the hangman,
Just before he's dead.
But to see that man;
I'd sacrifice my own head.
They hung the hangman...
But I'm just fine.
Cause the grave of that man,
Lies right next to mine.

Well, being the first poem of yours I've looked at. I have to say "wow". Though the format you used is a little sketchy, and your skills aren't really up to par.. the 'wow' is because you're 13(?) I believe. You have a great message in that poem (whether you realize it or not), and I really like the way (most) things fit together well. Just because you had a great theme, I was able to ignore the typos and bad rhyming 
I'm kind of interested in your other poems.....

Thanks... I was thirteen when I wrote this, but I'm fourteen now. I think it was also written over the summer, and I have horrible spelling, I appologize about that. The rhyming was most likely because it's meant to be more of a song then a poem.
Thanks for the comment.
