    Post How Can I Smile?

    Expressions vary from foul to vile; I’m virtually dead so how can I smile
    While the world fucking whirls without me even playing a part
    Dark-clouds in my pathway, I’m halfway to no-place
    These words are my showcase; I’m unable to show-face
    Wasting days dazed on dope dosages, vultures await my carcass
    A fate darker than midnight my existence is myth-like
    Just want to live-life, I sift solemn visions… the gift of insight…
    To incite true- intentions’, fighting regiments of demonic phantoms’
    Throwing untamed eclectic tantrums, I go distraught as Van Goth
    Working my hands off scribing these thoughts of mayhem
    Its grey grim, grafting conceptual matter trynna stay prim
    Sink-or-swim I drink raw sin in the form of Alco-pops
    Performing twisted plots, roaming Hells dungeons with agitated deeds,
    And my heart it bleeds needs love, but can’t seem to give some
    I dream of green pastures serene rivers’, an icon of winsome
    Still I’m convinced that these tensions will kill me eventually
    Mortally mauling me limb-from-limb, my vision fading, as lights turn dim.

    Liked the topic and the multis in this vortex. A good structure and decent vocab as well. I always like a melancholy tone to a piece. I think the only real weakness in this piece was the basic hook but it would probably work fine as an audio.

    Keep posting.

    p.s. Where are those verses for those collab ideas i sent you? Let's get this thing up and running, man!

    Great Piece...
    Gud rhyme scheme, nice structere, the mood was well thought out, I liked it alot and the same goes for the emotion...Add in some complex vocab and nice wordplay and u have a great piece apart from the hook, which, unfortunatly, I didnt like one bit...Gud piece though...

    Theres only one thing i didnt like about this verse it was too short.
    I was really liking the imagery and flow and then it ended as i was getting into it. The imagery stood out the most to me your vocab is good so you can express good emotion in the rhymes and create some dope imagery.
    The flow was nice all through the piece i just wish you wrote more on this topic cause it was real good. I thought all the lines blended straight into the next one so i could hate on nothing in this piece except the verse was too short.

    I liked te imgaery in this shit and everything really flowed on its own, and the whole story was like... in order, you didn't jump around from one thing to another and each line had that whole "no emotion" theme to it. real nice shit

    That was dope. I liked how you used rhymes in the middle of lines and how you made the bolding lines tight. YOu used semicolons and almost no one uses that. IT stayed on topic and you didnt do any simplistic shit. Vocab was good, structure was great and you did some things that made it good. It could have been longer but make sure you work on the flow better but it was aight. Keep up and never quit. Holla at my piece called free the speech and I would deeply appreciate that. Good work.

    Great piece there…

    Lyrically great - the flow, rhyme scheme, vocab was all very good – I also liked the layout in which you wrote this piece, just added to the general feeling – Great emotion as well, just a bit short but apart from that I can’t really fault this…


    Stay Up

    If you check any of my verse drop some feedback – peace

    Nice Piece.
    Liked the multi's topic, and the way you layed it out. But it was too short, and, when I got to the end it left me hanging, like you introduced a story, but nothing hapened after that.
    Keep writing.
    Pz.
