AMMO
What you say
Will ricochet
And end up hurting you
Toughened skin
Won’t let you in
Bullets on the loose
Left these holes
Insides exposed
But stronger, now I am
Pay the price
Roll the dice
Are you now a man?
Chambered words
Fired and heard
Tears begin to fall
Nothings easy
Barrel sees me
What have you solved?
Been shot down
Shattered sound
On my feet again
I’ll take the pain
But you remain
A cry within the wind

Ouch. Very powerful poem. I like the pattern, almost like a machine gun firing.
