THE GUN
I get angry then I cry
My feelings are hurt so I say
goodby
I’m off again I’m on the run.
Finally I stop and I pull out the gun.
My hands are shaking as I load
the gun.
My eyes filled with tears, My
heart with pain
I ask myself "why am I running
again"?
What is the answer to this
question I ask?
Pulling this trigger is not an
easy task.
I change my mind and unload the
gun.
My hands still shake, My body is
numb.
As I return the gun to its case,
My heart tells me "get out of
this place"!
So as a runner in a race,
I’m headed back home at a speedy
pace.
I guess I’ll never know why I
run,
or think of pulling the trigger on
this gun.
When I find out Ill let you
know,
why My mind says yes, but My
heart says no
