SAFE!

You threaten me.
You threaten my family.
I want you gone.

Paces,
Everything is a blur
I see guns, people, and blood
I hear ringing in my ears

I feel tears streaming down my face
My palms sweating
The weight of the gun

Was it me who shot it?
I shot the gun
You are dead
My family is safe

I feel relief
I see lights
Blue and red

I feel my feet moving
Fast, faster
Taking me away
Safe!
