Gather 'round now
all you who think you're tough.
We're going to play a game,
but if you lose, the losses are rough.
All you need to play
is a gun and one bullet.
Six people stand in a circle,
then the first person pulls it.
First up is Tyler
they say he has "good breeding"
Little do they know
he just keeps taking beatings.
He stands there debating
whether or not its worth the risk.
He thinks of his father at home
and gives the barrel a twist.
He slowly lifts the gun
as his hands shake with fright
He pulls the trigger
But he's not to die tonight.
He passes it to Ashley
who's just your average girl.
Except after meals
when she has to go hurl.
She hates herself now,
so badly she sees no other way.
She spins the barrel and pulls back,
But she's not to die today.
Next up is Meagan,
who's made fun of at school.
She thinks if she plays
They'll think she is cool.
She's done the math,
she knows her chances,
she spins the barrel
and watches as it dances.
She slams it shut
and holds it up to her head.
She pulls the trigger
and winds up dead.
The three that didn't play
breathe a sigh of relief.
Then they all start crying,
overcome with grief.
All Meagan wanted
was to be accepted by her peers.
They pick up her corpse,
their faces streaming with tears.
They hide her body in the woods
and wash the blood off the ground.
They go their separate ways
and hope to god Meagan's not found.
Nothing is for sure,
but I'm willing to bet,
never again will those five kids, play Russian Roulette.

Any chance you can make the font not so small and italicized? This is not the easiest thing to read.

very well done, some of the rhyming could have been done differently and it feels kind of forced at times
the concept of the story is good, you did this well, make revisions and youll have an amazing finished product. <3
