This is a 6 year old drawing I did a while back during my early college years. I just grabbed it for inspiration for this poetry slam competition and wrote what came to my heart. Please enjoy the poem and good luck to everyone participating in another great challenge provided by @prufarchy
Freedom:
by Verbal-D
Vague, or versatile, embody your true being
Everybody is deserving of love, are you agreeing?
Rarely do we take the time to appreciate
By alternative, we belittle our work and depreciate
All words are powerful, do you build with yours or destroy?
Look and listen to yourself before those words you deploy
Discern the freedom of your voice and filter love with that choice
Beautiful work, @verbal-d! As always, your word choice is top notch! I had a little trouble with the rhythm, but I'm certain you have a great flow for it. The message is clearly presented.
My favorite lines. ^
Just a heads up, the contest is over. :\

I see your poem is an acrostic though lololol ignore me :D I missed the "acrostic" bit in your title.
You almost scared me there bro lol I was pretty certain the challenge just started today. I actually missed the second poetry slam challenge unfortunately but I'm back in the race for this one. And yes I actually just reworded that line I'm sure you were referring to. I like this rhythm much better, it bothered me lol Thanks for reading my work and showing support and dropping a comment. Much appreciated, I'm happy you could find a set of favourite lines. You should definitely enter the challenge as well.
Heh My mind blanks out things when I read them for some odd reason, and I'll also see word orders reversed at times. Woops. :D
The flow works a lot better now. ;) I plan on entering, if I can remember to do it lol
It's all good, I'll be sure to remind you for this one. I'm sure you will have a great entry piece. Make sure to follow the rules exactly. My last entry didn't follow the theme so I didn't place at all.
We are getting close to the end of the challenge now.
I already posted my poem :)

Truth in every line here. In your classic style this could totally make a great rap verse... Great finisher~
Thank you very much for your compliment. Maybe I can use this small excerpt for a future song. Only time will tell but I'll be sure to let you know if I do. I'm glad you liked the ending, I was trying to compensate for the odd number of letters in my name with a double rhyme.

Hey bro. Glad you commented. I will follow you now.
