The Execution
Fear was all I knew
Every step drew me closer
The line taunted me
I refused to stop
I forced every step
Backing down was not an option
Every thump in my chest
Every knot in my stomach
Every lump in my throat
I felt
I stood
I stared
I refused
To move
Their God is the devil
Until the execution was over
I stared him down
I’ll be back
Amen.
