Gunpoint

My hands up in the air
My body frozen stiff

Suddenly upwards goes my leg hair
Sweat drips from face

The gun on my head
I can’t! I won’t!
It’s now or never

Let it all out or let it die within

My breath stale and steel
Nothing comes out of my mouth

Petrified, terrified, hexed
Am I screaming or confessing?

I don’t know (like always)

Enigmatic mind pushing towards the end
Don’t! just don’t! fallen like a lost king
Words out of my mouth like a snake
My whole body vigorously shakes.

My hands up in the air
Never knowing why,
confessing for nothing but air
Gasp. The gun fades?
The sweat still slowly drips
My throat feels like sand
And my head an avalanche
What had happened,
I would never understand
