I am a gun

i am a gun

waiting to be triggered

shooting bullets of my words

into the air.

when i empty my clip,

i breath deep into my lungs to reload.

i am the problem

and the solution.

i am a contradiction

of bittersweet revenge.

i am fought over

and fought with,

i am danger in the wrong hands

safety in the right.

i am a childish toy

without retribution,

a lethal instrument

playing the most sorrowful of music

i change from day to stay

never the same.

so tell me this:

are you feeling lucky?
