You don't have to pull the trigger.
What He has planned for you
is so much bigger.
Than the lies
resentful whys
the failed tries
open ended goodbyes
certain persons you despise
whether it's someone else
or inside yourself,
Put that gun back on the shelf.
Until you feel empowered again,
I know your strength is nulled,
if you want that much power in your own hand,
at least take out the bullets than,
That will liberate you, won't it?
This helplessness you feel subsides,
adjust your sights correctly you will find,
down the barrel of a gun is where the enemy hides.
Now before your heart joins the loss of your mind,
Open your eyes and unwind,
unload the gun and walk away
you can save a life today
even if it's your own.
I wish I could be more convincing. I know time is of the essence. How does one negotiate someone's life with few words? So short of time?
