    It Was You All Along (SS piece)

    It Was You All Along

    The headlines hit like a wave of water "3 people murdered,
    Such inhuman violence, this town has never heard of."

    Cereal spilled and cutlery dropped around breakfast tables
    As the papers opened to shed light on this horrific fable
    Myself, I stood stunned "What's this neighbourhood coming to?"
    One girl was a teenager; look at her clothes with blood running through!”

    This psychopath was fucked up, probably needed tranquilisers
    And some work on his skull with a pair of pliers

    I swear I dreamt about this last night, in sweat-clad sheets
    Horrific images, dirty scrimmages, screaming and broken teeth
    A house I’d never seen before in perfect, crystal clarity
    Unfamiliar faces pleading for a maniac’s charity
    I shrug the image off, it was a dream, I think I believed
    Then I glance down and see some red ink on my sleeve
    The copper-like smell hits me like a punch in the face
    Plus this kind of physical exhaustion like I’d been running a race

    The doctor’s called it involuntary unconsciousness, Narcolepsy
    Sometimes the world would turn off like the spark had left me
    I’d come to in strange environments, memory a blank slate
    Yet vague images would surface at a much later date
    And now my body’s trembles at my subconscious fear
    And the lights begin to flash as the police arrive here
    As the door breaks from the pounding the revelation is sure
    “It was me all along.” And then my vision blurs…

    Johnny this was fucking iLL I Read it the other day for the SS Bit and was going to reply but didn't get round to it lol

    it's so amazing how you can make your words come to life.
    And this Piece was fucking Tight i mean the way you unfolded the twist throughout the Three paragraphs was iLL, i know the topic you where given was ''it was you all along'' or summat and you took that topic and made a Dope piece out of it.
    The Multis Where Dope And The Imagery Was Astounding
    You always have the right amount of vocab in your pieces, never too much and never too little.

    I'll say what I said in SS... You, as you always do, wrote very well... The storyline was creative and you conveyed it well... I enjoyed reading it, the emotion was clear which made it truly interesting. The confusion of the main character was explained carefully and was very interesting. It was definately an enjoyable piece, but not necessarily your best. I've seen some truly great stuff from you and I know you have it in you. I think what was missing here, for me, was metaphor and simile... They're needed to add to the imagery and make a really strong link... It also makes your verse very sophisticated and complex.

    I hate to be hard though cos this was a good piece... Keep it up... If you could leave feed on the link in my sig I'd appreciate it.

    Very well written piece...

    It was well worded and everythin' complimented the other aspects of the piece. Flow was steady and simple but very effected. Structured well and was creative throughout to keep me interested. Overall was a really good drop, keep at it.

    Can you leave feed on the link in my sig please, thanks

    not alot to be added to what those guys have said already
    the piece cut straight to the chase and didn't prolong the story
    the flow was nice..had good structure and overall the verse is mechanically sound
    imagery and writers voice were good
    it was a little bit predictable towards the end of the verse, but it didnt take the shine off the story telling
    your writing has come a long way

    Good piece buddy...Close match between us.I liked how you started it.The imagery kicked in fast,and you got my attention.Very vivid in some places i might add.The emotion was strong and it made me feel the piece better.The flow and rhymescheme were nice,i've seen you do better(i would've liked a more complex rhymescheme),but it worked with the piece.I don't know what to fault in this except that,you could've made me get inside your character's head a bit better so i could feel better the emotion.Anyway good piece Johnny.Peace!

    The storyline was nice and easy to follow... The flow was also pretty sick and smooth... I liked the imagery alot, that was prolly my favorite part of this J6F... The details were also nice... Stay Up...

    Ok piece

    I think this was a little too short, but .. for what It did have, I liked the ending. I could predict the main character was the actual killer half way through the second paragraph, try to add less hints and more story details, like more about the murder, etc
    I felt the first paragraph didn't really meaure up to the other two, It had less imagry. The vocab was good, flow was easy going, and the sheme was average, but for what you had.. it was a solid read.

    Another dope piece john as usual, i like the concepts you use i havent read a piece of yours that was basic so im always impressed with your verses.
    The concept was original a real nice twist towards the end, your vocab was real nice so the imagery came out real strong in these verses.
    Your structure was fine, the flow and multies were on point as usual so i couldnt hate on nothing in this piece, keep writing.
