You,Me,We

You have it all but can’t recall A time when you felt so glum You act for all like you’re having a ball With your whisky, beer, and rum You cry each night and shake with fright From the emptiness you are feeling You think to yourself, life’s not right As your inner torment has you reeling You have spun the cylinder twice already Only to hear two empty clicks You felt the adrenaline and life was heady Yet only for a few momentary ticks You hide away each day in pills to make you numb As you smoke your grass and ignore life’s tasks You seldom shave and dress like a bum So, to life’s engagements you are no longer asked You hold your pistol up to your head Then you curse and cry for feeling so alone You have filled your mind with doom and dread And viewed your life in somber tones You loaded the cylinder with rounds in five Giving it a spin, thinking this time I’ll win You squeeze the trigger and click your alive Shaking and screaming your mind whirls and spins You shout out to heaven “Why do you hate me?” Like a gangster you turn the gun upside down You tremble it to temple, shaking like leaves on a tree In a flash you reason a smile is a frown turned around You freeze, then out loud this thought spews “Why dear Jesus do you prolong me in misery?” You must flip your me, to become we, and that heals you Thus, together we live with peace and victory You heard His reply and started to cry Taking a deep breath, forgetting about death You feel a jolt of joy at being alive Tethered together you will chart a new path You don’t know how, but your mind now allows That life is worth living and you have a beginning You point pistol, taking aim, pow-pow! pow-pow!--- pow! Bullets fly away like the pain and you start giggling
