O.K. Respect for the straight forward approach. However, I feel as though you missed the ball here. Lots of Chicken idioms that could've been applied, such as Chicken Scratch, Chicken Shit, Headless Chicken. Your Verse did not taste like Chicken, even though that is what it all boiled down too. Big fan of your rhyme scheme cadence. Though you wavered here and there with syllable mismatching which affects the effect your after, it was predominantly progressive, even if the story wasn't always? if that makes sense. I would've done much more with this idea. I look forward to your week 1 AOWL battle. Kudos.

Pent uP

Solid. Respect for the metaphorical approach. I ultimately feel the verse could've been fleshed and streamlined a bit further for it to reach the standard in which you have set for yourself over the years. Tacking on a texting reference at the end of the verse downgraded the verse a couple notches, IMO. Couple cool flows but I didn't sense any real cohesion as far as the grand scheme of things is concerned. I am not a fan of preachy verses intended to push their agenda on the reader. Perhaps because I am Anti Establishement.
"Internal turmoil makes the cold cage welcoming" - stand out line summarized the verse for me

MVGT - Pent uP, far from self explanatory, close duel
