72 - Pistols @ Dawn Poem by nicola burkett

I'm a one way
Freeway
Driving far from home
Granting you your wish
For me to leave you alone

Half way there
I'm switching gear
Turning the car around
A reason to come back
One of a million i found

I'm no push over
I will not roll over
I'll stand and fight
Pistols at dawn
Till half past midnight

What i've done
This battle i won
To your surprise
A change in view
I see in your eyes

What's done is done
This war i won
Smiling from ear to ear
Your words your fist
I no longer fear

I break loose
From your abuse
I turn i walk
I don't run
As i drive away
In the evening sun
