Down the barrel of a GUN

Gazing 
Down the barrel
Of a gun 
Contemplating 
Sins committed 
And those that the mind 
Was still to conjure up 
Instincts of fight
Or flight 
Refusing to kick in 
As I stare down 
The barrel of a gun 
Smoke covered 
Landscapes
With no place to hide
And no escape 
Trembling knees 
Losing
Control of the senses
Heart beats
Frantically 
But the body 
Remains 
Motionless
Stuck
Cement covered feet
Staring down 
The barrel of a gun 
Counting 
Last seconds
Click 
A sound cleared 
The airways 
Clear and perstine
Still I stood 
Made peace 
With my demons
Eyes closed 
A sigh of relief 
Slayed 
While staring down
The barrel of a gun

Suspended animation of sorts, and then that "whew" moment. Fantastic job detailing emotions and uncertainty.

Poetunleashed, I can relate to the soul-sweet feel of relief when one finally faces whatever needs to be faced to get to the other side, whether they decide to on their own or are force to. Great expression!
