Free Verse


Back up

No take up

I'm called up

To being shut

Down to the quarrels

They're all gone, the morals

 

There's a light

Always in sight

Calling someone's name

Shining bright

Sometimes dull, waiting to ignite.

 

Chance is the beauty

The beauty of it al

No expectations, no shadows

No willingness to fall

Because that call is my chance

No back up, just enhanced

Enhanced by my chance to answer the call

And show them i'm the her of this story, once and for all.

I am a crazy girl with a wild heart, that can't be interested in just one thing at once.
