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 !
