big baby verse - sapient
 

i don’t care about people mocking me
i don’t have a philosophy. wish i was swimming in mediocrity
smarter than others. paint me a Rorschach in water colors
allow me to place a single pearl in your coffer, because i don’t have anything emotional to offer
masochistic tendencies, and in the past too much friggen empathy
got a friend and all he wants is to poke girls, all around the known world
i just sit here in the living room with cigarette smoke swirls
i’m a white wolf in a field of black sheep
but still I can’t sleep
i’m sapient today. odd to say, because i have alien DNA
holes in your heart. put the repairs on layaway
or just tell me to stay away
remember grandma’s peaches in a mason jar?
remember when you told me, we could take this far?
daytime tornado on the Kansas prairie
why do you have so many divorced friends who can’t be married?
hollow point tension.
ending it all, and not enough mentioned.
but you told me it would be the best of times.
the rest of our lives.
melodramatic. why can’t you be happy instead?
was it even authentic when you laughed on the bed?
you’ve been becoming my new habit, instead.

Great title. Forgot you had used it tbh. Sorry.

What do you think about this though? Title aside.

thought it was a good copy of a caricature copying a copy of a caricature. i liked the backwards mirror style.

better than a big baby verse

lil bump

A parody of a parody, apparently. Regardless, I am enjoying the flow and how naturally your wording comes across.

So it seems you're just typing your head out, or perhaps unbottling your inner emotions in rhyme form. On another note however, it seems as if I maybe that friend you write of, shameful as it is. But oh well. Thus is life. Now breaking the quoted section into isolated ideas and singular moments of imagery two parts really standout to me. 1) "cigarette smoke swirls" and 2) "alien DNA". I thought both of those lines/ideas were pretty dope.

Lol! This is gold.

I recognize the satire happening here, but that last line was actually kind of fire.

Cool closer. I guess.

The mirror effect was kind of a cool idea. Although, I don't feel as if it enhanced the verse in any meaningful way. Overall, however, this was a pretty enjoyable read. I imagine it was written by RDJR's character in the movie 'Tropic Thunder'. You know the one that said, "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude."

Good stuff!
