A Rattling Rhyme

Don’t you come, don’t ever you come to go away
Don’t you go, don’t ever you go to come home back
Always walk with your life on your own paved pathway
Never try to forsake decisions of the heart you will take.

Don’t you speak, don’t ever you speak to say nothing
Don’t you say, don’t ever you say words to take back
Try not to make the sound if your bell you can’t ring
Never eat your spilled words to turn to instant fake.

Don’t you look, don’t ever you look out without sight see nothing
Don’t you see, don’t ever you see what you have left looking back
In the false untrue world you survive letting true vision bring
To your mind perception of full life that doesn’t crack.

Don’t you dream, don’t ever you dream to sink deep in fantasy
Don’t you sink, don’t ever you sink to float on the certainty
Let the hopes coming true give you the feeling of ecstasy
Never try unframe life making it lose the piece of beauty.

Don’t you sleep, don’t ever you sleep to run away from failed life
Don’t you run, don’t ever you run to escape the ordained pain
Let the mind seek solace in divine soul placid in stiff strife 
You will find peaceful niche for all the agonies to contain.

Hey, Subimal. That looks like a difficult challenge. I need to really study out the meter she mentions for this contest. I could tell from your writing that it is a three syllable type of meter. I really like how you patterned this one with "Don't you" at the start of every stanza.
