Hurt

I feel like our world's been infected& somehow you left me neglected.
Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take a gun, & count to three

I’m sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go

& You can see it through my chest

& I’m terrified but I’m not leaving

Know that I must must pass this test

So just pull the trigger.
