    Some Thoughts of Mine.

    I haven't really written for me lately, or rather, about my own shit... so back to the Tupac shit... don't feel like Writing a story.






    I'm lazy and I can't seem to find a spark...
    Assigned as Smart...
    But I'm lyin', I'm just tryin' to Park...
    A handicapped decal is an excuse for me...
    I wouldn't usually,
    But today is act two of a play musically...
    God amuses me,
    His antics, ...tirades...
    What's with the semantics?
    Hanging like a Preying Mantis sideways!
    Understand this is my phase;
    I'll get my energy back...
    Perhaps these are traps;
    Which masks needs and keeps me physically sapped...


    It's good to be happy, but-
    What if I'm faking it?
    I try to laugh, but then my past-
    is Still filled with debatin' it...

    And will my mood change soon?
    Will a woman make me-
    Happy?
    It's true that I'm the same dude...
    But this works consumin me-
    Actually..

    I'm makin' excuses, I'm just a bum
    And what I've taken is useless,
    Lust was the Sum;

    Love was a myth for me,
    I wanted it...
    Though,
    She doesn't exist for me,
    I'm haunted to know...

    I conjure the image,
    The black and white picture
    My memory's color is-
    My appetite's fixure...

    The sad delight hits her,

    ...I loved her back...

    Too bad we never told eachother that.



    A timeless told classic,
    If it happens then That's It-
    You can't save me,
    I've relapsed to my Habit...
    The weed and alcohol's Lasted
    So much longer, I hate it...
    My mind would rather stay blasted
    Then wake up to debate it...
    Corrupt and sedated,
    My outlook's still optimistic-
    I'd rather be glad than free;
    The system's simplistic-
    Plan to just visit your family and loved ones...
    While we spend our lives,
    like bees in hives,
    Working as dumb drones...
    Chilidhood was fun and I miss it...

    Shit, this life really is tough---

    ...Isn't it?

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    OMG Engivale...you're so amazing

    I love this piece sooooo much..that was a sad, happy story...nice imagery and flow was aastounding. I felt really bad for you, knowing this was a personal thing, it's nice to see a guy's emotional sense too sometimes...very cool stuff here though. I love the way you write....it's a little unorthodox, but it's interesting...loved how you wrote that middle section especially...very deep. Cool piece...very much a favorite from you for me.

    Thanks to everyone. SS maybe has made me a little angry and off my game, so I wanted to OM a little bit and just write to write.

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    Well this was a very enjoyable read.Multis were excellent and were probonly the strongest point in yur piece they really were fantastic.Your use of language was very clever in places and made the piece run a lot more smootly which is really good o see.I am so sick of people writing good pieces and then just finishing with a half assed closure, but here I was glad to see that you made a very good effort from start to finish.Very nice piece overall.

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    I don’t think it’s my place to front on this, so I won’t.

    This was definitely a great drop. Though the content is somewhat….you know…on some its all been said before type ish. BUT……I don’t think I’ve read said quite that impressively. I mean everything about this piece was on point, form the word usage to the wordplay, not to mention the flow - which was obviously the highlight of this piece. It was so fluid that it all but eliminated……the LEGENTH of the read. Which is always a plus, cause it kept my attention and also satisfied my ambition for more. It was easily one of the better pieces I have read in the OM as of late.

    Favorite lines:
    God amuses me,
    His antics, ...tirades...

    ^You’re defiantly not lying about that man.

    Great piece

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    Haha Tupac tip for real here man..i could actually flow with that pac flow where he strecthes certain words and ish and it sounded proper. Your a genuine songwriter get me. I mean poetic technicalities aside this is what i like to see in OM forum as it rolls with fliudity that is proper this seems much more natural and some of the oold Engivale ish. This kind of flow is what made you in SS na mean and i can't say i'm not impressed by the sheer lack of effort i have to put in to read a whole piece of yours. Pretty breezy and great read. Nothing i can criticize as it contains content that i particulary favour.

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    ... i felt this piece was more in a poetic state of mind, because it was real deep, very emotion. the flow was a bit okay, also the vocabulary sounded good in the flow. Also this piece had some amazing imagry. really can follow thru. keep droping science fams..

    peep the sig...

    Re: Some Thoughts of Mine.

    This was good, real good, but I don't quite understand why you don't write from the heart when you're in the SS. Don't get it twisted, you don't have to write stories to win storytelling leagues/contests. In my topical career, I've lost a total of 6 battles out of over 30, and that's excluding tournaments. I rarely write stories. Anyway, I really felt this, the flow was phenomenal and the execution of this content was superb. This was full of imagery and the emotion made it perfect. I felt what you were saying the entire way through. To sum it up: This was really good.
