Nothing to Lose

It was a heated argument

About different perspectives

Of the same exact situation.

Both sides defending their stance, vehemently.

I stand in the middle of the two

Hoping none of that rage

Finds its way to me.

At no point a side was taken

Through words or actions.

Then the shot was taken

Aimed right at me.

It was then

And only then

They learned

You don’t mess with a lady

With absolutely nothing to lose.
