Take a breath, take it deep.
Calm yourself, he says to me.
If you play, you play for keeps.
Take a gun, and count to three.

And you can see my heart beating.
You can see it through my chest.
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving.
Know that I must pass this test.
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 to pick up the value of my life.
