Russian Roulette

*Russian Roulette ** Sitting, bated breath Some calm ,others upset Sweat, on eyebrows and neck We haven’t begun playing yet! Take a breath, take it deep Fear, Timid, ashen,weak Familiar face, scary thought Wait! They’re here it means They never lost! Wondering if We’ll see sunrise As our lives flash before our eyes Mind jumbled, words mumbled Sit still, remain humble. My turn, heavy metal, click! The sound, empty, sick I pass it to my left ,handle hot I stiffen, there was the POP!! Smokin Gun, loud Gunshot. Everyone relieved, it wasn’t them Another day, to face our problems Adrenaline, power, don’t forget Every day we live is like, Russian Roulette !
