Thanks bengi. I suggest you read some of my other work on here that was actually written with a purpose. They are probably at the bottom of the page or on page two by now, but I think you will find those have more meaning. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it.

This is fly, but I think I agree with being that something is lost once the character starts "flossing". Still though, attitude is conveyed well and I'm digging it up until the line about, "[manners] never taught"

It was like writing about some guy at the bar approaching a woman. At first hes cocky and confident, then he gets desperate and tries to turn up the charm, realizing hes getting nowhere he arrogantly pretends he doesn't really care anyway. Thanks for reading, I'll rewrite the second part and continue in the same way I started.

With your explanation, I think it makes more sense. It seems like you could come stronger and more "fly" with the cockiness but that may just be a personal preference. This subject matter is tough because it's always going to seem "cheesy" to a bunch of dudes who are reading it.

Shame the Devil

Post by Radio Raheem »

I exaggerate your qualities when talking to my friends
And overestimate the meaning of the messages you send.
I see your cheeks take the tint of this wine we're drowning in
And catch a peek if your teeth when you speak between your grin.
I know the meaning of your words before they even begin,
So there's no need to spell it out, I understand, we're just friends.
But then again, I can't pretend I didn't wish we could extend
Beyond this suffocating space that we've seemed to settle in.
You say it ain't me, and I guess I understand.
If you really wanted one, you could've been had a man
Wrong time, wrong place, is why you say you're hesitating
But I rarely check my watch and barely notice the location.
So I'm sayin, these days I've been learning
And it's women like you that make me want to be discerning
So it's worth it, just hope no bridges are burned.
I had to tell you the truth I felt like you deserve......(to know)


You see I typically stand sentry but you caught me off guard
A little too close to be the one admiring from afar.
But here we are, should say, I am, on my own.
The reluctant occupant of the dreaded "friend-zone".
Should've shown you from the jump but damn girl you were slick
Had me head over heels before I'd realized I tripped.
Just give in and admit, y'know except defeat.
We're coming from long lines if people who are destined to never meet.
Retreating to old ways, ignoring how I feel.
My eyes shine the truth. My face says, "no big deal".
I pad the room with self-effacing, depricating sense if humor.
Hope to make the switch from fate to present tense a littler sooner.
Heard a rumor that I dug you? Things dont need to change.
Friendship, relationship. A rose by any other name.
Just don't call me Ducky girl, cuz I aint the one.
All though we'll never go pro, I'll keep on digging you for fun.
But it's done. I won't push up you can trust.
And you can revel in the fact that you made a black man blush.
It's in the dust. Although I ain't in the wind.
We can kick it like old times cuz we're still good friends.
Let's re-begin and get a drag start
I'll keep my hands to myself, you stay away from my heart.
Awww shit, there I go, still trying to be smooth.
If we can't be companions feels like we both lose.
I told the truth, although I thought it was clear.
Rather succumb to these emotions than succumb to fear.
Since we're here and after all there's really no need in fronting
I'm only good at to things yo, rapping and [bleeeeep]
fucking.

You need to go to like Vienna or something. You know what I mean? You need to get involved at the University level. Like where Freud studied and have all those people looking at you and checking up on you. That's the kind of help you need. Not the once a week for eighty bucks. No. You need a team. A team of psychiatrists working round the clock thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like the way they did with the Elephant Man. That's what I'm talking about because that's the only way you're going to get better.

Gravestone

Post by Bobby D »

At first I displayed some warning,
an instinct then, but now just a gravestone mourning
used to be a killer, but now it often fails
water runs through my fingers, cant get it off my nails
I'm surplus of a man, in a still lost dream
I got blood on my hands yet they will not clean
I'm with the damned, and they feel a robbed fiend
I can fire it up, i'll choke and retire a cunt
I was admired once, but no more does this time exist
I sway where I stand, smokes burning my iris's
no weather to make me feel better, so sick & beat
feeling good always ends up bitter sweet,
never a victory...
can't put out my pain, the ferry for my liver sets
it pours, and rain puts out the cherry on my cigarettes
just a concession of confessions at a cemetery
smoking, reflecting on a recollection of a memory
just a life... forever on a sad sore section
trying to find an answer but just had more questions
lost...
