Ok, here is a really silly one in Dr. Seuss style.
Taunting the Reaper
I’ve come to the point
And glanced at the end
I’ve witness the vision
And I’ve felt the pain
Now there’s no point in fighting
Or in sitting around
All of my motivation
Has run into the ground
Chorus
And I live for one thing
And one thing alone
I am taunting the reaper
And I’ll make him groan
I’ll tie his laces together
Or poke him with a stick
Then I’ll put stuff in his milk
That will make him real sick
And I’ll trip him with wire
Let the air out if his tires
I’ll fill his shampoo right up with glue
Put lots of goo in his shoes
Chorus
And I live for one thing
And one thing alone
I am taunting the reaper
And I’ll make him moan
He’ll turn swiftly around
Thinking he heard a sound
But he’ll just see my shadow
My footsteps in the dust
But he’ll know I was there
Even though he can’t catch me
He will pull out his hair
And complain it ain’t fair
Chorus
I am taunting the reaper
And I’ll make him groan
I am taunting the reaper
And I will make him moan
Well I’ve peaked through the crack
And I’ve look down that long hall
And I have seen that strange light
Illuminating the walls
And I’ve decided to stay
‘Cause I’ve just got to see
How long will he let me
Get away with it all – let me go
Chorus
I am taunting the reaper
And he’s getting real grim
I am taunting the reaper
And I’m dancing with glee

I liked that one, but to me it sounded like you were trying to seduce the grim reaper…^_^ The verse structure is good for your genre of music, but a suggestion would to be to make your rhymes stronger. They seemed weak at points, and some bars didn’t even rhyme! But that’s just my two cents
