I can read, I can write                                                                                                            I can bleed, then recite                                                                                                        Sense his greed, crease infold                                                                                               Is it me, or his ego?

Write the words, make them rhyme                                                                                  Chorus or storyline,                                                                                                          make them nice, make not waste                                                                                            Is it me, or is it in poor taste?

On third verse, can't get worse                                                                                            hope it rhymes, like the first                                                                                            make it ripe, make it plight                                                                                                    He's confuzed, in his own right


The author's comments:

My name is Dylan McElyea. Evidently by submitting to this website, I'm a passionate writer. I write in my spare time, (Which between you and I, my time is usually spare) most of which are verses of words forged to be something lyrical, something rythmic. Sometimes about something hypothetical, something about someone else, my interpretation of their feelings, or me venting my own feelings (Almost always the latter).

I love the sense of rhythm and urgency in this. It's beautiful!
