................................ Reprieve             Reprieve Reprieve            Reprieve ................................ Life is so precious when you're the one who's taking it. I took the life of your friend Again, again, again. I'm contracted to take the hit I know that makes no difference. The lives you hold so very near I'll take them from you dear. ................................ Why can't             my mind find its      ease? ................................ I know the position you're in. I was not born into this. A hit was placed on my family and friends to recruit my obedience. I pretend to be normal until my contract is signed and the clever, chaotic side unleashes on its next sacrifice. ................................ Reprieve       Reprieve Reprieve       Reprieve ................................ There is no way to say this I'm a killer who warps the meaning of justice. I'll die alone in a ditch and laugh at my own hopelessness. ................................ I laugh    at my own mind's      unease ................................ Reprieve! Reprieve? There's no reprieve! ................................ Laugh! Laugh! Laugh with me! ................................

© Tatiana I got bored and started writing a character who works as a hitman and is losing their mind, ya know, the normal stuff. And this poem is from that character's perspective.
