Passing Me By

All I Do Is Sit and Cry, As I Watch My Life Pass Me By

The Pain The Horror The Shame and Defeat
I've Given Up On Life Because Life Has Given Up On Me
My Tears of Blood Sorrounding Face of Remorse
My Dreams of Flying Are Dying And Falling Off Course
I Use To Believe That I Could Achieve Anything
But Now I Just Plead For People To Give Me Everything
I Have No Hope Just Like My Money And Home
Its Gone No Longer Free To Roam
Freely And Peacfully But Yet Its Still Amazing
How Hope Seems To be So Hastlty Grazing
And Skinning My Heart To Pearce My Mind
And With The Blood I Wish To Find
Everything That's Missing Inside So Divine
Give Me Thoughts And I'll Research My Crimes
Yeah Life A Burden But My Troubles Are a Bind

All I Do Is Sit and Cry, As I Watch My Life Pass Me By

.:Passing me by:.
To little, To late


Present Day
In purgatory, the old man sat, reflecting on his life's past
.. Seconds, minutes, moments passed his last chance ..
Can't forecast a future of passion when you don't strive
So he remained abeyent all the while is mind nose dived

55 Years Earlier
.. He sits at twenty, his mind rippin' on the street corner ..
On about his noise n' keeps his beat former, poise proper ..
The party stopper, can keep a crowd goin' as he's flowin'
All the while knowin' what God gave him, what he's got goin'
.. For him, his talent is his fortune & he knows his motives
But he can't escape his motions & remains in psychosis
Deranged, lost in commotion and yet he's chosen unspoken
Verily he's broken, but he wont know it for some years past
Until the tears crash and splash upon his youth's aftermath
The after clap, of how he lacked motivation will finally seep
.. To infest his inner thoughts and creep deep into his sleep ..

Narration
So many have it, they're gifted but never tap that mental keg
And so they hobble for some cause as their dreams fade away
As shades of gray .. until they're invisible to all but individuals
Who know deep inside, they had potential windows n' credentials

v/mentalz

i think oz. didn't really go too much indepth with his, it was easy, and he basically just grazed on the topic....focused too much on rhyming it. mentalz came here with a vivid story of a guy who let it all slip away from him, and i really liked it, even though it should've been longer, well, it seemed like it easily could've, but yeah, mentalz definately came with a nice piece here, good job to both

rtf on this with an explained vote please

Best topical battle I have peeped in a while both come
really dope, both using two different styles.

Mentalz ~ really nice writing fams, your verse was the
more complex. You had a very good use of vocab and
the flow was on point.

I liked the way you broke the verse up and the whole
concept of the verse. Trying to make people realise that
if you don't do nothing now you will just regret it in the
future.

Oz totally different concept to Mental and the style of
writing to. You verse was more fluid with great flowless
flow a very enjoyable read. The creativeness in the
story was great.

The reason I went for Mental was because I felt that
his verse was more complex, and a very solid drop. Oz
I think if you droped the same amount of lines u would
have taken this.

Stay up both and keep writing very enjoyable battle

nice job to both, mentalz took this, he had vocab on point and his descritption of the topic was way more in depth than Oz's. It gave more of an interesting story and kept me hooked to it while i just read Oz's Cause I Had To.....

Vote disqualified for inadequate feedback. Please see this thread if you need help on what qualifies as an acceptable explanation.

Lookin' for more votes, make feed over three million words or it'll get DQed.

Be back in a year when it's still up and taking forever to close.

Now this was a dope battle... illness from both... but only one can win right... with taht being said... OZ's piece was fire, had a nice flow to it with a real bleek demeanor I fucked with it fairly heavily... but Mentalz piece really put out the flames...

Opener: Oz
Closer: Mentalz
Structure: Mentalz
Flow: Mentalz
Imagery: Mentalz (Oz just by the nature of it couldn't really paint a picture... though I really do like cerebral type pieces)
Concept: Mentalz

my vote goes to Mentalz.Yall both had some good pieces but I felt that Mentalz approched the topic better.Lets see Mentalz as I start reading your piece it had a real good opener which really opened my eyes to read your piece.And as I read down your piece you came good with your Imagry and emotion in this piece.Your Imagry was good cuz when I read the piece I could picture what was going on in your piece.And the emotion was real strong in this piece cuz I could really feel it when I was reading it.Also you had a good structure and good use of your vocabulary too.And also you were real creative with the topic.Oz your piece was good too.As I read down Oz piece he had a good opener also that opened my eyes to read your piece.You had good Imagry and emotion too but I thnk you could have went deeper with the emotion in this piece.But the Imagry was good cuz I could also picture what was going on in your piece too.Oz also had a good structure and good use of his vocabulary.And also he was real creative with the topic.But after reading both pieces in this battle Mentalz gets my vote.
