    Just Lost Without.....

    Well i figure, since i havent written a topical in what seems like decades lol i thought i'd borrow a topic from Sacred Scriptures and give my own take on Just Lost Without.....

    Without what you might ask, let’s take another look at this
    Minus laws and lawbreakers, crack heads and rapists
    And all the negative aspects of the crazed life we live
    A utopia is where we stand, but that reality is only myth
    For to be without the good or the bad would be pointless
    A meaningless world, even the thought of such is ludacris
    This would be to be without sin…such a person cannot win
    It’s impossible to be without something that comes from within
    Which, in other words, means it was never there to begin with
    So I ask you….
    How could you be lost without something you did not know existed?
    You may see traces of it among your peers but the truth is
    The real excitement is in the mystery and one day earning it

    There’s a tendency to want what your without inside
    And a need to have as much as others…..selfish pride?
    To be known among the great as well as move with grace
    Respect and dignity for oneself must never be misplaced
    Hold on tight to what makes you unique from all the rest
    Treasure it, keep it bottled up, don’t lose what u have left
    Or find yourself wandering mindless in a distraught state of mind
    Take it from one who’s done it and threw away his chance to shine
    I’ve been lost, I’ve been confused and wished I could rewind time
    And had to learn to face facts. Wut I had is no longer mine
    So when your not sure and bearing the minimal shred of doubt
    Grasp it tightly….don’t let go or you’ll just be lost….without…..

    Maaaan, you're rusty. This felt like one of those pieces I see from the newbs were they just try so desperately hard to be deep and emotional but that which they strive for just becomes so absent from the piece BECAUSE of the fact they try soooo hard. What all that means it, the piece lacked heart and authenticity in my eyes, and when a piece doesn't have those qualities than I can just never really get invovled because it feels like the writer is telling you lies. I mean, the content in no way was bad... It was just forced. Also, the rhyming in this was very sub-par man. The internals were kind of lame but I could make it through those in hopes of a nice multi ending or something but then the endings never really even flowed into eachother and often just had the say like 3 ending sylabols while the beginings of the words were entirely different which made the rhyming very amatuerish. So, sorry man but I jsust wasnt really feeling this... But I've written with you in your prime so I know what you can do, I'll be waiting for that piece when you get all your shit back together because the boards are going to be awed.

    this peice was alrite, nothing all dat special about it, some of your lines didnt rhyme and the flow wasnt all that great, some things were forced in my eye and use multies like Atticus said, that would help out

    I agree with Atticus about the tryin' so hard bit....Relax!

    But yeah you did ok, message was good, just need to work on gettin it out more clearly. Flow was ok but coulda been more complex in places. I have no doubt that as you write more you'll pick all this up again. And it'll come to be second nature...

    Keep droppin' and I'll keep lookin'

    I agree with them, it did seem a bit forced. But overall it wasnt bad. You said you havnt wrote in a while, so I guess you being rusty is to be expected. But I'll go over a couple things. First, your topic was nice. I meen, it was played, because alot of people write about this type of thing. But the way you approached it was well done. Your rhyme shceme was nice, it consisted of multies, could have added more but the flow was not choppy. Your structure was nice as well. I like this man, just take your time on the next one and Im sure it will come out just fine.

    The piece wasn't too bad, the rhyming was simplistic to me, but the content was pretty good so my only suggestions are to make it flow a little better and use the multi syllables more often (you don't always have to, I'll drop a simple rhyme occasionally on a line). And you haven't written these in a while. I wouldn't worry, the skill will come back really fast.
