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.

not all heroes need a bang
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?
