Rebel
 
This is a poem I wrote while bored in one of my classes.

No.
I will not.
Could not.
Do as you say.
I must rebel.
It is in my nature.
I will not succumb to your words.
I will not listen to you be charming.
Stay away from me.
You are the thing that could destroy me.

Stop.
I will not.
Could not.
Do as you say.
I must rebel.
It is in my nature.
Your words are like nails on a chalkboard.
Your voice is like that of a dying cat.
Stay away from me.
You are the thing that could destroy me.

Please.
Do not continue.
I will not.
Could not.
Do as you say.
I must rebel.
It is in my nature.
My words plead with you.
My voice trembles with fear and hatred of you.
Stay away from me.
You are the thing that could destroy me.

Poems don't have to begin each line with a capital letter, and end with punctuation. It's actually better to let words flow from one line to the next continuously. This sounds more like song lyrics, and the periods are inserted as pauses in the music. If you read it out loud, it sounds gaspy and strange. Try:

[No!
I will not, can not do as you say.
I must rebel.]

You should also try "can" and not "could," because "could" refers to the past tense, in which case you would write "could not do as you said."
