Poet Destroyer A Poet Free verse

Chasing Life

rambling it all
fierce is no game
piercing the lips
a brand on my name

walk with a wedge
stand up straight 
slouch all you want
a stick up the notch

teasing the lips
live no regrets
change yesterday
forgetting  the pass

solid on the look
watery  eyes
kill with the mind
hear me, do not speak

torch the need
feed on the weak
withdraw the mind
blind out the truth

be born to reborn
faith lost faith found
glory the name
repent be saved

be bad do good
pick a flower
strike a match
doom to rebuilt

love and live 
live and die
cry and laugh
laugh out loud
