Aphotic, acrostic, apocalyptic dive
never knowing in my darkness if I will survive
now is the deepest, swimming toward the light
Instinct spills, words pop, cryptic maybe right
Venomous, virtuous, hold your breath or don't
Enthusiastic, Enraged, make it or you won't
Radical, mayhem, pissing off your guts
Say, SLAM it, damn it, I'm going for the ruck
Appease you, die trying or panic in despair
Real stuff, had enough, I'm floating to gasp air
Yes to me is a no, no is just a guess.

Great rhythm, Rock. It felt ambiguous, like a pendulum swinging between opposing views.
Loved your rhythmic acrostic SLAM!! ❤️
I was reading at a fast pace, it does chant I agree. A generak feeling in the air.
I agree with Hannah!! The quick rhythmic pace begs to be chanted!
You pack a punch, Rock! Wonderful, acrostic poem!
