Chasing life.

Reaching out with every letter I write.

To chase down a dream I refuse to burn alive.

Been hanging around my neck for long.

Instead of living, It strangles me dead.

Every eloquent goal I set ends up-

as much more weight that ties me down a sea-

Of every tear I shed for what I’ve lost.

Love takes me to moon, chanting an ode.

The spills every drop of blood off my-

Beloving heart and leaves it maimed.

And all adds up to being lost eternally.

It’s only time that can unravel fate.

If any of it survives...

This is supposed to be blank verse with some meant modifications to the rhythm, I'd really really appreciate it if someone has the time to give me a scansion of it as I need to know if it turned out with the stresses and substitutions I tried to do.
