Take a Breath

Take a breath

and pull the trigger

it'll all

be over soon

Take a breath

and step forward

call your name

loud and clear

Take a breath

and push back

your doubts you'll

be fine

Take a breath

and take out

your glinting

metal

Take a breath 

and hold it up

point it towards

your target

Take a breath

and c**k the gun

call out the target's

name loud and clear

Take a breath

and close your eyes

pull the trigger

and feel the kick

Take a breath

and put the metal

glock back into

your pocket

Take a breath

and smooth your 

hair it'll be

alright

Take a breath

don't look at

the blood pooling 

on the floor

Take a breath

and walk out

breath in the 

crisp air

Take a breath

because you've 

completed your

first hit

[Joan Probst]

I really like this poem for its dark side. The short lines make it more haunting and leaves the reader interpreting the scene themselves. Loved it! Keep it up!

Dark, haunting, and amazing. Like I said before, I really like your style of writing and the themes you choose. Your use of repetition really complements the works.
Well done mate, and keep on writing.
