Carpe diem without a conscience

Carpe diem without a conscience

A Poem by Soren

Stimulant driven off the carcass of fear liven'
Trimmed all gristle and fat, always lived on the edge
Atheistic  prayer shriven always forgiven
Carefree I walk the ledge

Run amok but never got stuck
Hanging over the edge, I would stop
Relying on luck not pluck 
Time after time came out on top

Pushed the limits, lived in the minutes
Broke rules and tested all boundaries
Cut fine the seconds as temptation beckons
Foolishness forged in life's foundries

Borrowed to buy on tomorrow's money did rely
Never paid my debts or crime
Live on the edge of a lie, never believed I'd die
Thought I'd exist till the end of time

To "Capture the Day" is the Beaty of Life... to mingle with the common folk who belong to the Fray. Amen... softly, Pat

There was a period in my life when I lived like this. At the moment. And I can guarantee that you definitely don't get stressed, but until you lose something you really care about in your life, your health or your loved ones. Still, I think this is something that everyone should experience at certain times in their lives. NOT IN THE BAD WAY OFC. just Mine freedom ends where someone else's freedom begins.
You wrote it perfectly, sir. I was amazed by the descriptions and your narration.
