Try something different. Something that you’d never do.
Don’t plan ahead. No mission objectives.
Self-reflect. Then reflect again from a different perspective.
Hold things at an arm’s length and your arms will grow tired.
Hold it close instead. Drop those you no longer require.
No longer desired. Act for yourself. Disregard others.
Fuck these motherfuckers. Let them all suffer.
Selfishness and indifference is essential for self-fulfillment.
Just kill yourself. It helps to be persistent.
Become non-existent. Or don’t. Decide by yourself.
Be calm, relaxed and selfish. It’s good for your health.
Become one with indifference, the feeling is comforting,
Because if the heart desires nothing you cannot experience suffering.
The more people care about something the more likely they’ll be to do something evil,
Benign indifference is peaceful -
And that is exactly why I hate happy people.

I really liked ZYG's use of commands/ second person... i think that's an avenue rarely taken in these battles that allows for lots of unique manipulation of the english language, insight on the narrator due to his or her esssential bias, overall more powerful. very truncated... delivery oriented.
it was a pretty good piece about how emotion clouds your judgement, in a sense. it makes it more human i mean. sometimes when you talk to a friend about your problems involving a different circle of friends they offer the *worst* advice, because they are emotionally uninvolved and the history of your relationships with each individual person weighs on the situation in a way you cannot explain. this, from the viewpoint of someone who has severed ties or not made any with people, illustrates that point. i think.

dear mama, i love him
i don't think i'm coming back
after all, you know what they say about
.. "going black" ..
a voice infused by angels
my heart's condition strangled
every drop of my affection
inside his body, forever tangled
but things are different now
requests, indifferent how
a golden sunshower can deflower
and shatter every vow
they say he took advantage
this pain? i'll never manage
a sweet teen with sweet dreams
devoured and invalid
to understand his motives?
i'll try, though they're illegal
and that is exactly why
i hate "happy people"
hope you aren't all too young to remember this "incident" |
lol. funny/ weird. did you ever watch all like, 36 chapters of "Trapped in the Closet"?
wasnt really feeling your rhymes. or lanuage
i guess i wasn't really feeling ZYG's either. cold mechanical. then loose introspection. maybe i am just a piece of shit as a person. i think that would be very freeing.
i liked ZYG's writing more, this week. it has more depth and Diode's writing had some flaws (most likely due to rust) that made it seem stilted and ungenuine, and when you looked beneath the surface of rhyming mechanics and language like I did ZYG's it seemed shallow.
