Self-Centricity, in stages
IIIIII
I've tried to be happy. tried a coke and a smile but i can't shake the feeling that my hope is denial and i'm sorry for changing. that i'm socially wild but when it's only us i'm more like an emotional child at a festival surrounded by excitement and sound lonelier than ever as i followed the crowd met a stranger by the willow tree. he loaned me a light we talked, tobacco molten delight. smoke in the night he too, felt disconnected, but accepted the distance like, it all gets so old. the drugs, the tension, the bitches the love, the pressure, the systems like nothing's better than sickness. i like to be alone sometimes but friends are persistent calculating interactions. analytic and strange inhibited, sane. aware. i miss my primitive brain if you think, you think too much about the tiniest task pour your pint in a flask and toast the moment. if you like your coffee black, wine white in your glass it's a sign of the times, zeitgeist approaches. there's a color to music that gives it texture and taste i've recycled time enough to know it's better to waste i've devolved into a prototype. repetitive, fake it was over the second they gave the devil a face. my demons are dollars. endorsements, checking at Chase spent on any substance that presents an escape. i'm evil. stupid. selfish. all those negative traits but i'm centered. almost perfect. true perfection awaits passion in these parables, poetic for praise it's a proper alternative to repressive malaise it's pain but not exactly cause it's pleasant at times adrenaline rushes from looking death in her eyes there's not a sedative high that can compare to success not a failure that can measure up to marital stress sometimes what's truly beautiful is fairly depressed and purity is found inside a terrible mess prepare for the next. compressing air in your chest i say whatever comes to mind. but say it in jest naked, her breasts were Marilyn, yes - Monroe in her prime I guess Gentleman Prefer a woman loaded with Skyy. cornucopia, the joker's card that nobody plays huffing nitrous til we float, like parades. moles in a cage prayer wasn't enough to wash my clothes in the rain it didn't save my homie from the coma, he stayed no destination headed like a road to the Gray place your coat on a hanger. welcome home, it's been ages i'm supposed to be famous. Dead men are media martyrs camera crews to black spoons inside a seedy apartment spirit departed, what a cliche. shotgun shell in your face watch me smile. iAm the devil's embrace. IIIIII

my demons are dollars. endorsements, checking at Chase
and there's not a sedative high that can compare to success not a failure that can measure up to marital stress sometimes what's truly beautiful is fairly depressed the poor are rich in faith to see true beauty, otherwise it's ugly at the top. sharp voice in this, good pacing with the narration, using I's and and's to bring it back to the character letting the reader know it's his "confession" and we able to listen and ponder...great pacing....the content could have been more unified...what happened to the dude ya shared a cig with ? he was interesting as you told us something about him through yourself..then he was not mentioned again...just a passing thought. good drop (trust that you do not want to smile about being the devils "embrace", believe that) |

that short conversation, while i didn't devote much time to it, was a focal point of this entire verse. or at least a catalyst for the writing of it.

but i can't shake the feeling that my hope is denial and i'm sorry for changing. that i'm socially wild but when it's only us i'm more like an emotional child at a festival surrounded by excitement and sound lonelier than ever as i followed the crowd this was an excellent description of a depressed self loathing individual. sick met a stranger by the willow tree. he loaned me a light we talked, tobacco molten delight. smoke in the night he too, felt disconnected, but accepted the distance like, it all gets so old. the drugs, the tension, the bitches the love, the pressure, the systems like nothing's better than sickness. i like to be alone sometimes but friends are persistent calculating interactions. analytic and strange inhibited, sane. aware. i miss my primitive brain enjoyed all of this, then it hit the last two lines.. and i was like wow. that hit heavy. it was a thought as if to say, i wish i wasnt to smart for my own good, or maybe its more like.. the old saying, ignorance is bliss -and this person longs for that if you think, you think too much about the tiniest task pour your pint in a flask and toast the moment. if you like your coffee black, wine white in your glass it's a sign of the times, zeitgeist approaches. there's a color to music that gives it texture and taste i've recycled time enough to know it's better to waste i get to this segment and comfortably begin to enjoy the read until i get to the final line there... that recycle waste flip on time was fucking nuts. loved it! READ THIS THROUGH ENITIRELY AFTER THOSE QOUTED SECTIONS decided to change my feed style a little here are a few more stand out lines my demons are dollars. endorsements, checking at Chase spent on any substance that presents an escape. naked, her breasts were Marilyn, yes - Monroe in her prime I guess Gentleman Prefer a woman loaded with Skyy. huffing nitrous til we float, like parades. moles in a cage prayer wasn't enough to wash my clothes in the rain spirit departed, what a cliche. shotgun shell in your face watch me smile. iAm the devil's embrace. such a dope finale' to an superbly crafted piece. black da gawd. thanks man, glad to see something new from you, was hoping you would grace us again soon. NOMMING this

by the way, i think he was pointing out that his smile was like the devil embracing you -or making you feel comfort when you shouldnt. not actualy saying that he himself was the devils embrace @Coup
but correct me if im wrong. and its been so long since a votm was considered that i dont even know what it means,stands for, or what the qualifications for it are anymore. and the bad part is i had one on ncs1.0 fuck it, its been nommed for hof tho 1

Read this last night. Hof worthy verse tbh. The scheme was excellent but the major stickin point of this piece was the emotion it conveyed. It was heartfelt and honest and one of the best pieces I've ever read. Great job dead

Enjoyed it a lot, it is very interesting that the focal point was only contained in a small section of the writing, shows how far it is possible to expand with all the connected themes from a single point. I agree with the previous comments about your exceptional rhyming ability. Without focusing on the rhyme schemes the real strength is the unexpected turn of phrase. The collection of individual fragments/thoughts presented within the striking language is really great. E.g., the part after zeitgeist approaches being the best examples of this type of unexpected language. It is something else how you manage to write in such a refined manner while keeping the tone so conversational and one-on-one. My top favorite lines from it; "place your coat on a hanger. welcome home, it's been ages." & " i've recycled time enough to know it's better to waste"

I enjoyed this, and everyone's already espoused the obvious reasons why. You have a mastery of syllable counts and rhyme schemes that makes everything you write ridiculously smooth on a level no one else here approaches. (Where CopyPat stuns with his rhymes, you do it with naturalism.) And the content was good and at times great, with a whole bunch of standout lines that I'll quote at the end.
But I figure I'll drop a little bit of hopefully constructive criticism. There was a long stretch in the middle that felt very vague: Quote:
Anyway, here are the promised quotes: Quote:

i've recycled time enough to know it's better to waste
i've devolved into a prototype. repetitive, fake it was over the second they gave the devil a face. my demons are dollars. endorsements, checking at Chase spent on any substance that presents an escape. i'm evil. stupid. selfish. all those negative traits but i'm centered. almost perfect. true perfection awaits passion in these parables, poetic for praise ^^^^ great minds must also share these parallels nice work throughout the whole thing I'm not quite sure if this was for one of the leagues or on your own time, but the way it was weaved so perfectly deserves more observance keep doing your thing
