    The Mother I Never Knew... SS Piece

    The Mother I Never Knew
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    Sitting through the endless days of myself I cry,
    Sustained by this liquid mass I breathe her sighs.
    As one we traverse this vast reality that I will inhabit,
    The anticipation is almost too much for me to inhibit.
    Kicking her stomach in anxious anger she laughs at her chest,
    Caressing it softly and smiling as if aware of my unrest...
    ... Stressing my boredom bruises appear...
    Fear overcomes her cranial suspense's superior leer.
    Eight months of patience isn't an option for my insistance,
    Existence is but a dot of life in the ever growing distance.
    .
    .
    .

    Eighteen hours of excruciating labour ravishes my mother,
    Doctor's drenched with sweat and worry peer at one another.
    In the womb I grip on to prolong this process...
    Illustrate my feelings through her vocal pain's success.
    Vocal chords vibrate violently touching their adjacent twin,
    The child of the devil... The child of pure sin is within.
    Emerging from her covered in blood the red being falters,
    Aware of the surroundings too early... Overly developed martyr.
    Bloodshot eyes greet the doctors as the mother flails in pain,
    Rouge life splatters over the tables staining her son's name.
    The incarnation of a million dead souls he drops to the floor,
    Rips visible across the doctor's chest cause shocked flaw.
    The mother fading as the lines fall to a flat 180th degree,
    Nurses fall to their knees as others stumble to flee.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    The red baby stands on his weak legs watching his bones bend,
    Brutal arms extend to grasp out at life for the end...
    Laughs echo from his tiny mouth... Deep and low...
    Yet this event will never be believed... No one will ever know.
    The sheer anger inherent in his tiny structure is too much,
    Weight of past actions crush his legs into his stomach.
    Having exacted his anger on his mother he sheds a tear,
    The evil crushing his lungs as it escapes into the oxygen fear.
    Placing his hand in hers he cries for the mother he never knew,
    collapsing on the floor next to her his body breathes a sigh askew.
    Shadows flood from his throat as he grips the floor tiles lightly,
    Embracing doom he hugs the dead doctors legs frightfully.
    .
    .
    .
    The blood drains from the baby's corpse leaving a normal being,
    A world all around him... A world he will never have the pleasure of seeing.
    .
    .
    .

    "I just wanted to love you..........."

    Dope man.

    I was feeling everything about it, Nice imagery, Vocab was nice, And structure was on point. Your becoming one of the top topical cats on RB man, Keep doing your thing and keep your head up.

    Check my OM.

    your diction was suspended to me. otherwise, description and imagery were all there. i like the structure, which added to the effect of waiting for the birth.

    8/10

    Hmm, this was a nice piece, pretty strong and the SS topic was pretty unusual, the way you decided to attack it.

    Laughs echo from his tiny mouth... Deep and low...
    Yet this event will never be believed... No one will ever know.
    That was my favourite line in the entire piece, it means so much, it explains itself, I know what you meant by this. As usual you came good with the vocab, a distant flow but it was a lot about imagery so where it lacked here it made up for it there, Some loose rhymes actually hepled this come across, and the odd alliteration was nice on the eye and gave the piece a better poetic feel, something thats different. The emotion was a little too blunt imo, it just came at the end and pounced around the piece, all I was getting was imagery and when you hit the emotion and the feeling it seemed like it was a little forced, a little weaker than I see from you usually. I think you could'v ended it better, but it was twisted so I suppose you did well with it, just a rethink in certain places would help it climax, help you end up killing the piece off, finish it stronger than you did.

    Overall, this was above RB's average, but I've seen better from you man, I look forward to collabing/battling with you brother...

    And check my latest out please, Friends Forever...

    the key? Origionality! and you had it straight off, i've never read anything like that before, it was totally fresh and new to me (and if you don't mind me saying, a bit disturbing) i liked it alot though, its nice when you can click a link and not have to recycle through the same played topics..thanks for a great imaginative read.

    Haven't really had a chance to speak in this... But just to shed some light this was a really quick piece I wrote. I had to go out and wasn't going to have a chance to write for SS for the rest of the weekend... So I spent 20mins putting a concept I'd had quickly down and posted it... Luckily I did do it in the end, no matter how rushed it was, as Celestial ended things early and gave me a win for dropping.

    Thanks for the feedback though everyone, I appreciate it.

    This was a cool piece but i would've liked if you used a cooler rhyme scheme, maybe double syllable or something. Just a preference of mine but i like to read my topical like hip hop rather than free verse poetry or something. It was still cool and I liked the story though i thought there might have been some extraneous detail in there and maybe you could've tidied your verse up a bit. I can't really tell though, i don't usually deal with this linear storytelling structure, for the most part it was really cool man.

    Nice job and comment on my pieces if you want to.

    Nic piece , unique style with the topic...
    I wasn't expecting you to approach the
    topic the way you did. But I should have
    they way I have seen you write before...anyways
    nice discriptive out line piece. Very good imagery with
    the child and his mother. Gave me visual. The flow
    was pretty good use more multies. Nice structure ,
    and nice vocabulary usage to bring out what the
    mother was experiencing... Well done piece stay at it.
