Didn'T Mean To

Didn't Mean To The sun is rising in the sky, oh could this be the day to die,the shotgun held between my teeth and I’m shaking like a leaf. I’ve said my prayers and cleansed my soul so why can’t I achieve my goal? To pull the trigger is all it takes but my hand just shakes and shakes. A sudden thought a change of mind what about the people I’ll leave behind? I open my mouth a little wider shall I shan’t I ? I can’t decide. But then Oh damn! A spider! BANG The stupid spider made me jump I pulled the trigger just like a chump,I didn’t want To I didn’t mean to, but It’s too late my brains are splattered up the wall and into my mouth that spider did crawl.

I am sure this has happened, I mean from someone on the edge trying to decide, a gust of wind hurling someone off a cliff top, etc. Your take on this contest was so unique and well presented Michelle. Congratulations on your wonderful win! : )
