Take a breath, take it deep

Calm yourself, he says to me


Take a gun, and count to three

I’m sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go


Say a prayer to yourself

He says close your eyes

Sometimes it helps

And then I get a scary thought


So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes

I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye

But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life
