1 Minute Poem by Bree Swart

I look at the clock,
Time is running out,
My face filled with shock,
My heart filled with doubt.

1 minute is all it takes,
1 minute to finalise my fate,
Look at the things you've done,
I'll pull the trigger, just give me the gun.

My screams and crys satisfy you,
You feel superior,
Seeing my arms, black and blue.

You wonder why im so depressed,
You wonder why im always stressed,
You have pushed me to my limit,
I only have another minute.

Another minute is all it takes,
Another minute to seal my fate,
Another minute my body you reap,
A lifetime my soul shall weep.
