[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

The Bullet

Fixed between gammy teeth
Silvery, cool and hard
A bullet lies stuck
And you are out of cards
You danced and twirled
But to no avail
And now you must bite
And the pain must set sail

Long ago it found its way
Fired from a holster oh so deadly
You didn't think much of it at first
Thought your dancing could get you off free
How wrong you were
You thought a bullet was nothing
When, with each move it wedged itself
Further, further within

It tastes icy and menacing
And you shudder in fear
But still you do not confront
Your stress-born tears
You dance, you trick, you put it off
Put off the biting, you say
It'll make the pain go away
I was wrong, you now bray

Each time you sidestepped
Each time you played around
Each time you messed with
Your looming doom
It went deeper, deeper
Greater pain ensued
So stop being you own reaper
And just bite the bullet!, would you?
