    The Lights





    A warm sensation overwhelms as I gaze upon the lights
    Lost in the patterns which spawn upon the dawn of night
    For what its worth, I discern I've taken it all for granted
    Amalgamated with the earth, my boots have been planted
    My toes have become roots, dispersing through the ground
    Astounded by the scenery which drowned the sky around
    Flying high in this heavenly moment, sounds I hear bring delight
    I might be slightly overjoyed by these sights and sounds tonight
    The brightness and dark beautifully contrast, its suitably
    Euphoric, I'm ecstatic for it. And so fluidly--
    I'm relaxed and at ease, I cease to feel like a solid
    This released state that I'm in, I'm uncertain what to call it


    I feel strange, living an abnormal reality
    Difficult to distinguish the truth from fallacy
    Is this fact or fiction, is my brain playing tricks'n me?
    How can I trust my senses when it all seems too good to be
    true? I question it's validity, but quickly fall off track
    Is my felicity a lie? My ideation drifts back
    My mind is sporadic, yet focused on a single thought
    It moves a mile a minute though simultaneously stopped
    I begin to dispute the entirety of what I know
    It then dilutes my composure and diminishes my glow


    So with it, I grow frantic and massively paranoid
    I'm now in a position where me and myself share a void
    Here the lights abysmally shine and set a dismal mood
    This negativity brewed inside, I'm wishing it will conclude
    As the bright lights dim, does it allude to my own demise?
    I despise my current mind state, I must mentally revise
    I'm uncertain how, as I'm overwhelmed by anxiety
    Awaiting my death, as crying initiates quietly
    Suddenly I'm in the amenities of where I call home,
    Petrified and flush, I'm hot to the touch, my face has shown
    That I'm happy to be here and I let out a relieved sigh
    Immediately I realize that I'm coming down from a high

    Great way to open this joint. very good use of wording and imagery.
    flowed extremely weel too. Impressive.

    very poetic in a sense and vocab brought this to light.

    i like this part because it fits the pic and speaks through it.



    Overall, this may be one of your best works. the middle could use some revising here and there. Plus, try to stay away from using "I" soo much. It takes away from the connectivity imo. But good drop here Trajik!

    Re: The Lights

    My fucking computer froze so I'm leaving shit feed for now...

    This was a good piece, my favorite lines were the two opening bars.
    Really set it up to be a poetic piece.
    It flowed well throughout, when I read through it I didnt noticE anything too majorly wrong, maybe a little rewording/revision. But hey, no piece is ever perfect.
    It Was very impressive as far as vocabulary words go.
    It was almost less of a rap and more of a poem... Not a bad thing.
    The one thing that I did notice like kp said is to use the word I less... That being said I need to start doing the same in my pieces.
    Overall some pretty impressive lines in here, some words I need to look up, some stuff I need to reread in order to understand.
    Made me think with this one... Good job man

    Traj, homey, I gotta say man that you have definitely evolve into a good topical person. I like the topic and how you attacked and presented this. You have gotten and mastered the structure part of dropping tops and expanded by putting your twist on it. Love the emotion of the first verse. Very captivating. Overall I have to say that I agree with KP about the middle verse but definitely I see this as one of your greatest drops. Great Job Homey...
