The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Its so real that it's surreal

I am drowning in a sea

Of ice and frigid water

That is all surrounding me.

 

I paddle to the side

For suddenly it's a pool

I pull myself out, look around

Feeling quite the fool.

 

A woman and her child

Language all unknown

Speaking so swiftly

understanding unsown.

 

I wander into the shack

Perfectly dry and courious

There's a woman by the window

Another storms in furious

 

The angry one has a gun

And she points it to the first

An unseen one calls from behind

Here is what's the worst!

 

I hear the gun go off

The woman lets out a scream

"I didn't shoot anyone!" reapeats

But the Keep and I fall as a team

 

I felt the bullet enter my head

Three inches above my eyes

I hit the ground painlessly

The screams fade to sighs

 

"You shot me" Leaves my mouth

And I black out at her feet

And in my bed I wake up

What a bad morning to meet.

Such a great poem! When I first started out I was confused and a bit lost, but the end just ties it all together and I sort of laughed at myself (realizing it was suposed to shift gears like it did). This is another one of those 3 emotion reads where your mind is bouncing all over the place so that your almost tired when your done reading it. Great job on the suspense and then pulling it all together. Thank you for sharing it!
