Truth Or Dare Poem by Jennifer Hanson

Let's play a little game
a little game called truth or dare
so what do you say?
you first? OK

truth or dare?
you choose dare?
I dare you to pick up that gun
the one right over there

I dare you to pick it up
I dare you to pick it up and point it at my head
I dare you to pull the trigger
I dare you to pull the trigger and make me dead

why, you ask?
because I can't handle all the pain
I can't stand to be alone
and I hate all this confusion

trust me, your insults aren't helping
so take the damn dare
blow out my brains
I'm sure nobody'll care
