Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

Act of Defiance

hey, you over there
give a damn good reason
why the hell I should care
about your superficial generic opinion
        gettin' ready to encourage
        my fiercely defiant nature
        y'all lackin' courage
        hurry, and run for cover
lettin' my mind vomit
in this toilet called reality
spewin' some funkin' spit
lettin' nothin' inhibit me
        gonna create a holy somethin'
        find out if it can survive
        in an unholy dimension
        ya never know, it may thrive
I'm gonna conjure me
a functional illusion
see if it can live happily
in a dysfunctional delusion
        makin' it my ultimate goal
        to be a static nuisance
        life's gonna pay my toll
        I only obey my essence

Arthur Vaso December 3, 2016 at 10:02 PM I like, I mean sad to hear you are stressed, but sometimes, a few glasses of wine, some unwind, and we write our best stuff. When it comes from deep inside, no matter how, it resonates!
