"Last Bullet In The Chamber" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
LAST BULLET IN THE CHAMBER
Life seems like that last bullet in a black pistol.
Waiting, day in and day out, in a suffocating clip,
which only promotes upward momentum. Forced growth, which pushes and shoves you through to oblivion. Awaiting for your time to spark.
Meanwhile, all of your Grandparents bang, Parents bang, Brothers bang,
Sisters bang, Friends bang,
have discovered their purpose. Leaving you, lonelier and lonelier after every bang.
