Once The Gun Goes Off
by Janine Lynn Osborne

The gun went off and that was the 
          last he heard,
Not one last breath, or one last
           word.
He thought it would be easy, and it
           would set him free,
It just goes to prove, how hard life
           may be.
Once you get in, there's no way of getting
           out,
No one can hear you, not even if you
           shout.
Once you're in, the gates of life
           close,
I'm sorry it's the way it is but it's 
           the path you chose.
We can't help you get throught it
           all,
First, you will see the blood, then you 
           will feel the fall.
Life is hard to live the way others want
           you to,
Just know, once the gun goes off, there
           is no more you.
