Bite the Bullet

Surrounded by darkness, no light in sight,
  nerves rattled and afraid to move.
Something was wrong, it didn’t feel right,
surrounded by darkness, no light in sight.
Bang!Bit bullet,he had something to prove,
 blood flowed from her mouth that night.
   Nerves rattled and afraid to move.
surrounded by darkness, no light in sight.

I am not a big fan of this contest as I think there will be many sad and disturbing poems created... I do not like this term very much.. However, you did a great poem..
