Eyes In Front: A Villanelle

_source

"Eyes In Front"

Always keep your eyes in front.
For you know not what awaits.
So can you stop pulling stunts?

Why are you tanking the brunt
When you're in a hurt state?
Always keep your eyes in front.

Why are you acting like a runt?
Aren't you doing exactly what you hate?
So can you stop pulling stunts?

Can you not feel the taunts,
Taunted for not going straight?
Always keep your eyes in front.

Sometimes you act like a grunt.
Too impatient and cannot wait.
So can you stop pulling stunts?

One of the bridges had been burned.
And you're in a precaurius fate
Can you keep your eyes in front?
And can you stop pulling those stunts?

What is a Villanelle?

A villanelle (also known as villanesque) is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines. The villanelle is an example of a fixed verse form. The word derives from Latin, then Italian, and is related to the initial subject of the form being the pastoral.
