Notes About The Poem

Break Free Opposing

Break Free (original).

I decline to be bathed in abject defeat, I intend to break free. 
My endeavour isn’t dead, intellect serves as a panacea for me 
My muse and I must find impassioned advocacy to meet. 
I intend to break free, I decline to be bathed in abject defeat. 
The solution I submit, it will be extraordinary and unconventional. 
A dramatic escape from all restrictions unintentional.

Break Free Opposing.

I adore to be bathed in glorious acclaim, I intend to indulge. 
I feel so securely alive, my brain can’t divulge.
My muse and I cannot agree and will only cause deceit. 
I intend to remain, I am going to accept hideous conceit. 
There’s no solution, it will be mundane and true to convention.
A sorrowful surrender to all chains and detention.

Congratulations Wen! I first read this, and I then understood what the Dilly's contest detailed. Yours was truest to the task, I thought, a trophy from me! :D
