This is a competition
A poem written
to beat you
It is weaponised 
I am weaponised
My judgement
of you 
an attack
on me 
I don’t know the rules 
or understand the rules
I recognise that feeling though
rising
again
to meet 
me 
Another chance 
another chance to break 
me 
I don’t know the rules
or understand the rules
the voice
the rhythm 
the meter
But I understand you better now
I know you are brave
Braver 
Braver than me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
