Pull the trigger

by Patrick

Published October 19, 2006

The time is here,
The time has come,
For me to do,
What must be done.

I put my hand to one my sides,
And take the gun,
Form where it hide's,
I polish it down,
With spit and gum,
I put it to my head,
And pull the trigger,
BANG... life is gone.

My first and rubbish attempt hope to write better soon

With spit and ?gum?,
I (place) it to my head,
pull the trigger,
and life is gone.

"I put my hand to one of my sides,
and take the gun,
from where it hides..."
It rhymes better.

Other than that and what Claudette said, it's wonderful. Beautifully written.

Form where it hide's,
From, typo. no apostrophe 's on 'hide' just 'Hides' (the 's' ending is actually part of the verb form) You should read over stuff before you post it to check for these kinds of things.

I'm not sure how to critique it. The first stanza is better than the second IMO. Very gloomy though... Sorry, I'm horrible with poetry!



Too often we crave the extraordinary in life, without even learning how to cherish the ordinary first. Friend, I promise you this: if you can learn to take joy in the simple mundane things in life, the extraordinary will take care of itself, it'll be on its way, hurrying towards you. But if you skip the first part, it'll ever evade you.
