Word: Gun

Speak
your words 
like a gun.
Fire away, but 
make sure you aren't
wasting your own bullets.
When words are shot at you, get 
back up and reuse them against
those who attempt to shoot you back down. 
Words may sting like that shot, but you can stand,
Surprise the world with your endurance. 
Make this world of thieves see that you
refuse to bow down to them. 
Blow them away with your 
own bullets, which will 
still be stronger. 
Smile in the 
face of 
death.
