    Wordplay Worries and Metaphorical Maladies

    Wordplay Worries & Metaphorical Maladies


    The duel of the cruel, bad and worse trading bombs
    Amazed the dried pen can still write from wrong
    Gone from good this barrage bruises the cold shoulder
    Cuz this flurry from hell will make it freeze over
    S’now way I can hide, my demons have arrived
    Subtracting the lives that used to multiply and divide
    My demise Capitalized, I’ve tried to make amends
    Fuck being stabbed, I was nuked in the back by friends
    It’s a fact I’m off track, train of thought derailed
    Pointing up first, then to where Christ was nailed
    Life showed me the ropes, fuckin noose and all
    Knocked back for the count…..down til my fall
    Ear pressed to the ground, listening for hints
    For the time to draw the line, with a razor on my wrists
    No need for this, shit I know heaven sent
    This chip on my shoulder, cuz the axe missed my neck
    A mission towards revision, keeping prophets guessing
    Squinting and wishing, I wasn’t blindsided by vision
    Problems are funneled, joy’s become unbundled
    The light is blocked, by the collapse of the tunnel
    Turn away God, asking forgiveness with slits
    But now I’m free…….falling to the fiery pits
    Hell’s fantasy tragically, has to be a tragedy
    These are my wordplay worries, and metaphorical maladies

    This was a great piece, but sadly nothing more... I felt that you lacked something in this piece, it felt a bit bland.

    But when I look into greater detail, I see a brilliant flow, a well placed, and presented structure, some good vocabulary also, and above all, a great deal of imagery and emotion.

    Congratulations This piece was a nice attempt at something brilliant, and hell, may very well be, but I just felt it lacked something.

    But everyone has their own tastes Peace

    this was decent for what the title suggests you were trying
    to acheive, though tbh i thought it could of been a bit
    fresher, some seemed a lil predictable, while others were dope
    the flow was strait, and well your vocab was ight, the imagery
    was cool, while the message or story telling aspect i feel could
    of been clearer, though i see a lot of cats using the whole
    piece as a metaphor nowdays, im wondering if that is the case
    in this srcipt, pretty strait piece, this was just good for me,
    no doubt you got skill,

    keep rippin those scripts...

    if you got time here is a link to one of minez...peace

    I was feeling this piece alot more towards the middle and end versus the beginning. You had good flow throughout the whole piece though and Vocab. was definetely on point. The internals and Meta's were good, lines that I was feeling a bit more than others are...

    Ear pressed to the ground, listening for hints
    For the time to draw the line, with a razor on my wrists
    No need for this, shit I know heaven sent
    This chip on my shoulder, cuz the axe missed my neck
    There's a couple of other lines that were pretty good also just I'm too lazy to quote.Lol.Imagery was pretty good and the only real problem that I saw was a few rhyme problems on a couple lines but that was hard to even catch between the good vocab and wordplay. Keep up and check out 'For Tomorrow's Honor' when you get a chance. I'm gettin' slept on.

    This was a great piece as far as creativity goes...The meta's and wordplay were all this piece consisted of really nothing more as far as imagery...emotion....wording....etc..but it was a good read...nothing really special or nothing that stood out beside the meta's and the wordplay...good shit though on a creativity basis....RTF in SIG...plz...
