I tried to rhyme it.
I'm standing here, frozen in place,

With a bullet right in front of my face,

I've got the ability to pause time,

But all I can do is think and rewind.

I wonder how I ended up in this predicament,

Did I make a mistake or was it just an accident?

The seconds tick by, but they feel like hours,

As I stand here, caught in these powers.

I try to remember what led me here,

But my mind is a blur, filled with fear,

I close my eyes and take a deep breath,

Hoping that when I open them, I'll be free from this death.

But when I open my eyes, the bullet is still there,

Hanging suspended in the air,

I know I can't stay here forever,

I have to find a way to move on and sever.

The ties that bind me to this moment in time,

I have to find the strength and the will to climb,

Out of this frozen state and into the light,

Where I can live my life and do what's right.
