    take my pain

    …………Do you………..

    Do you think you can take my pain?
    As I lay motionless on the ground
    As if slain, as the yells are abstain
    As death surrounds, my brain confound
    This drains my life, this everyday fight
    As the hate ignites, this sleepless night
    Emotionally torn, my body is worn
    Mind is forlorn, as I’m openly scorned
    Waiting for the next spoken words
    To hear the next chirp of the birds


    ……..Silence……..

    As if I’m deaf still waiting as I hold my breath
    Hurt but not with any type of physical death
    Not able to rest, erratic motions as if possessed
    Depressed, this outcome to crazy to be guessed
    Taps down the hall as I hear him come
    Clack of the pistol as he clocks his gun
    I wait, unable to move considered sitting bait
    My loves soul mate, my fate I do await
    I hear him pass by the door and continue walking
    Yells at his wife there’s no type of talking


    ……….Bang………

    As I hear the gun go off, I sit quite as on pause
    Not wondering why because I know the cause
    He knows I’m here, he waits for me to appear
    hear him crying I see the tears, imaging all his fear
    I know that I forgot my wallet, and he probably saw it
    Unleashing his inner demon, see him as he tries to draw it
    I got my self in this mess, now this man sits obsessed
    Maybe I should go out and confess, maybe have some success
    No to stop and talk is to dangerous, I should just run for it
    I know this is a sin but maybe I wont get shunned for it

    .......The mind.......

    So really can u take this pain?
    Cry as much as a unstopping rain
    Feeling bad, as you “loved” his wife
    No need for glad, as he ends your life
    So I bust out basement heading out
    He looks at me and just looks back down
    He doesn’t shout, cuz now his wife he’s without
    Doesn’t even open his mouth, continues to frown
    He killed his wife and now he regrets it
    Life is not about hate and now he finally gets it



    The man who was in the basement got away clean but the wife was killed and the husband killed himself shortly after the man left…

    This was a nice peice. I like how every different part had its own title and section. Structure was nice and added a nice touch to the peice. Flow was good, but culda been better. Vocab was nice, not too complex, but not simplistic at all. Emotion was there, and stayed there throughout the peice. Concept was good, and stuck thru, as u expressed your pain in different sences. Nice touch and layout of the piece all together. Overal good piece

    Yeah, Grim, You've defiantly improved, not that you were every bad, you've always been pretty dope, but it looks like now that you've really come into your own element, like everything has come full circle for you. Haven't seen you in the Open Mic in a while, but this was defiantly a pleasant surprise and one hell of a comeback piece if I do say so myself. Your flow was impeccable and your scheme was creative. As a matter-a-fact I read the entire piece straight through without one mishap or slip up. Which is a testament to just how well written this piece was. The subject-matter however, wasn't the most original, wives get killed on a weekly basis in the OM, but given the execution it was still entertaining enough to eclipse it's played concept. You defiantly held my attention the entire time and, well, there's really nothing to complain about or criticize. Enjoyable read to say the least man.

    ^Man, I hate quoting entire passages, makes it seem like I didn't read it, it's kind of cheap, ((lol)) WTF am I talking about? Anyway, this was my favorite part of the entire story, I loved how the character questioned what he should do, it made it very "life-like", not to mention the rhymes were pretty fresh to. Great flow, dope visual, what else do you need? Dopeness bro!


    All in all this was a entertaining read, can't front, I enjoyed it ALL!

    Keep dropping Grim!

    I recently voted on this drop...It was a good read most def...I liked how you portray the imagery in that 3rd person type of persona...that was coo...the wording was aiight..but maybe it was just how I read it..but it seemed liked the lines were ending to sudden..that's about the only negative I could say if any to this drop...nice read..and props on getting ya swagger back..keep droppN.word.!

    This verse read like a story. It flowed pretty good and thepicture you put across came clear.

    As I hear the gun go off, I sit quit as on pause
    Not wondering why because I know the cause
    He knows I’m here, he waits for me to appear
    hear him crying I see the tears, imaging all his fear
    I know that I forgot my wallet, and he probably saw it
    Unleashing his inner demon, see him as he tries to draw it
    I got my self in this mess, now this man sits obsessed
    This part here really drew a feel of intensity.

    I think sometimes your word selection is a bit off but you showed real creativity and skill. Dude I dont want to throw empty flattery at you. Fuck that I want to put constructive critisism. Summary. Good feel of atmosphere, nice application of the concept, good flow, work on word selections

    As if slain, as the yells are abstain
    As death surrounds, my brain confound

    Re: take my pain

    nice imagery, it was real emotional too, i think your story-telling skills are pretty good in this piece. the overall concept was cool, i liked the ending. i don't have too much too say negatively, but maybe the rhyme-scheme could have been better... but really it's fine, not too complex and not too simple.

    anyways, return the favor, please, in my new open mic...
