Russian RouletteA Poem by J. C. Koch
Life sent her
nothing but pain. The world showed her nothing but rain. "This is no life is no life," Thats what she thought "It really wasn't worth it, those battles I've fought." But still in her mind, like a shodowy wraith, Something she'd forgotten. I could have been faith. So she decided to test, see if she was meant to die. Her father's colt and one bullet, Was it her time to say goodbye? The bullet loaded, the barrel spun, Now, it was her time to see. "One pull of the trigger, and I'll find if this world was meant for me." She squeezed the trigger, a simple little pull, and she leaned the simple fact, Her life was meant to be full. © 2011 J. C.
