Bang-bang!

poem by: Theresa Taylor
Written on Sep 28, 2016 

Just shoot already
What are you waiting for?!
You're a coward standing there, your finger poised and ready
Open deaths white door
Flood gates are waiting, you hold the key, hold it steady
Sever the chains that keep dragging me down
If you shoot then I'll finally be free
Bang-bang! Two shots for this burden, then I'll be sleeping soundly
I dare you to let me go
I dare you to shoot and see
Lay me down in red on soft white snow
If you're too coward to pull the trigger, then at least let me
Bang-bang!
