dear diary, this' my final entry

my first and my last, goodbye to everything

it feels like i'm doin' what's right

why's it feel so wrong, like for certain-

it's right, take a second and pause

it puts a hurtin' on eyes, that barely open, becos

the clouds blur my vision completely, though i'm focused and all

i'm broken, i stall - the plumbers at watergate

so i call for a prescription of cause, and my doctor says

this should be all, so don't even bother me anymore

whatever i got, i should've assaulted the whore

i thought of assisted suicide, thoughts just flew on by

and when i entered my home, the first thought was do or die

feeling cadaverous inside, it's hard to swallow the pain

especially when i made a promise to mom

my heart will always follow my brain

and that's sayin' a lot, cos, god gave a kid some judgement

never the cynical type, but never the one to fuck with.



my fuse is short, the bombs are ticking down

my minutes left here are calm, and i'm grippin' now

the steering wheel of fortune or raw deal

the revolver of truth or false will

the leap of faith or toss of faith

whatever the case, god pardon it please

nobody deserves a harsh way to end it

though dark places seem the best friend and

when all seems lost we seem to fence in

ourselves in entirety, losing track of time

life in itself, and though it feels like your fighting through hell

keep going, cos by the time you make it on out

a clear mind will expire, as u embrace the cards you were dealt

so it's time to sign off for good - good riddence

cos my own thoughts seem to lead to my own death sentence..



topic: personal journals

I promise was what she told me…an answer so frivolous
A souvenir to my heart, more a romantic deliverance
See I trusted her word, absurd, it enhanced the remembrance
Blinded by her subsiding will, I was masked within ignorance
I’d later see she was one I’d have no chance of commitment with
Back stabbed by the chick I went through a manic belligerence
Every time I looked in her eyes, I abandoned her innocence
I knew she was lying but stayed, understand it’s ridiculous
But the chance of resistance is too hard when you know the truth
The only thing now is plan payback and hope she don’t notice you
It sucks when your told something, and you wanna hope its true
But it’s not and you’re well aware, shit…what am I sposed to do
I been with her for six years we’ve been through the old and new
To find out a promise she made is now something she wont persue
But there’s a problem, I cant prove a thing, a theory’s my only proof
And im stuck being a pawn to her game if I don’t refute
What do I say? Should I be blunt, and claim she’s a hoax and group
Together the thoughts I have and say she’s a ho then stoop
To a level lower than hers, and yell til I coax the mute
And get her to spill the beans, to the point there is no excuse
Im so confused….
Cause I really do love her, but im really certain she’s cheating
When she passes up dinner, saying she’s with her girls for the weekend
Just thinking about it urks me, it re-occurs when im sleeping
Cause my conscience antagonizes me, blurting out that she’s freaking
I surface into the deep end, treading waters of hate and disgust
Cause if I catch her in the act, she’ll see the rage in me bust
I’d basically break her face for a day full of lust
Muster the craziest stimulation while erasing the flux
That keeps me wanting to be with her, impatient, I must
Confront the bitch, and rush her quick if she’s invading my trust
And punch her with my fucking fist until she’s bathing in blood
Waiting for what, I need to act, I know she’s making shit up
Im angry because…
I know she’s out there, screwing another man
So I pick up my keys while I hold jail time in my other hand
Cause now im so pissed off if I find her im gonna slam
Her and the dude she’s with, shoot a clip, do you understand
I start my brothers van, cause she’s out in the…whip that I own
But deep inside im wishing that it’s me and her on a simple ride home
The drive is intense, swerving through traffic, downtown’s what I got my eyes on
It’s dark out but it’s luminous inside from the glare of my chrome
I sigh low, I see her, and as I thought, she’s with another
Guy, but the story get’s deeper…I see her with my brother
I get sick to my stomach, besides the point we have different mothers
It hurts worse cause I know he’s the type to forget a rubber
Cause it was just this summer, it was scary but I smiled
When the bitch told me with a straight face she was carrying my child
That’s around the time I start feeling I was married in denial
And now the puzzle comes together, as im glaring in the crowd
His face buried in her gown, I start approaching with a temper
Without an ounce of doubt because they’ve both been a dissenter
I stand right beside em and yell, they don’t know im in the center
Of the crowd, she turns and looks, I get cold and I remember
How much I love her, I cant move, every motion in me’s hindered
I flash back and see the two of us, just strolling in the winter
Wonderlands of the park, it goes dark, I focus and amender
And realize, I died in my sleep and been a ghost since in December

Memories Live

Entrant 15-vote


East:1 Entrant 10 vs Entrant 13


My vote goes to entrant 13, i wasn't really digging entrant 10's whole
structure, it seemed more like a spoken word or poem type of thing
rather than a verse, I felt that entrant 13 delivered a better
message..had better structure..better flow...and overall a much better
and more thought out verse than entrant 10

vote=Entrant 13

entrant 10-

your flow was really hard to follow, especially in the
first stanza, the way you wrote it out, i was able to
catch on and get into your flow, but i know alot of
people are going to give you shit on it, the story
itself was decent, alot of despair felt and i really
sensed the angle you were coming from, i just think
you could of wrote better where it flowed nicer, good
verse though


entrant 13-

wow, really nice buildup that led to the end there,
this was an outstanding verse, good flow, wordage
good, but the story was so involving and it really
dragged the reader into it, while i was reading i had
a million things going through my mind as to what was
really going on and the ending finalized a very nice
verse, well done.

vote - entrant 13

You sort of have an interesting way of formatting your lines…It helps
with the flow for the most part…In terms of the rhymes…It didn't
really seem like you went all out on this one like one might expect
for being in the semi's…Don't get me wrong…It was solid…I liked the
conversational sort of feel this had…As far as your flipping of the
topic…I don't really think there was much unless I missed some
underlying metaphor or something…It was nice for what it was which
pretty much seemed like a venting piece…Overall this is a solid
verse…Everything was decent…I just didn't see anything that was really
good…

Entrant 13

The rhymes stood out with this one…Nothing forced…No cluttered up
schemes…Just good old fashion rhyming…As far as my perceived flow of
the piece…I think it started off better than it ended…At first it was
real smooth then the lines got bigger and bigger which unless anchored
with some rhymes or something tends to sort of throw me
off…Interestingly enough…As the flow faltered a little the actually
story itself became much more engaging…It would be interesting to see
you keep both at a high level throughout the entire piece…That
said…Nice flip at the end…I wasn't really sure where the story was
going…I started off having ideas but to me…The story was told so well
that I basically stopped looking for them and just got caught up in
the story…That is good shit…

Vote = Entrant 10 had an honorable showing but 13 pretty much took
this one in about every aspect other than maybe consistency of the
flow which is a pretty subjective thing anyways…

Entrant 10 vs Entrant 13

Entrant 10

Sorry, but this seemed like one big ass run on sentence without much clarity at all to solidify the verse. You were clearly depressed, but I have no idea why you're killing yourself. I understand it's a suicide note/letter and that's aout all I get from it. It seems as if this was thrown together just to avoid a no show. It really wasn't an enjoyable read to me at all.


Entrant 13

Nice flow again and the anger was felt in your verse. I thought it was gonna e another r kelly type scenario, but was pleased that it wasn't. You took the 6th sense approach with following your wife around and thinking she's cheating on you when you've been dead. As that was revealed in the end it made me think of that movie and everything bruce willis was going through as his character struggled to realize that he had died and was no longer a factor in his wife's life physically. I like this a lot and it stayed on topic with a nice twist even though it was done in a major motion picture first.


Vote - Entrant 13
