Swimming With Fishes
 
Swimming With The Fishes


As I lay in bed, submerged beneath my blankets
Pondering about life itself how One goes through anguish
Loved ones are taken seeing how life is not promised
Atleast not to my loved one that is my uncle thomas
Encountering agony pain as life for him is subsiding
Doc says life for him is short as I feel my life colliding
Currently aware of the circumstances subltely walking
Conversation not current as I have no appetite for talking
A sea of grief crashes in my head like the tide
Watching him in despair fearing the worst I cry
Wanting to share his goals as I get my gear ready
His goal being deep sea diving sitting tight and steady
Goggles propped over my head ready for the first mission
Taking a gander at my surroundings ready to continue the tradition
Soaring quick in the air bursting into the cool brisk water
Glistening in the sun, the crystals glare as I see a passing otter
Mysterical reefs so colorfull as starfish lay apon the oceans surface
Life under water is remarkable its serving a full life purpose
Fastly realizing Ive been entraped under water for quite some time
Uncle will be waiting, I shall awake him with the astonishing news of mine
Walking apon the railing not hesitating opening the room door
Gasping for air is my uncle as he squirms like a rat on the floor
Devastated to what im seeing no reaction due to the amount of shock
8:40 his death time I was unable to save my love from his breath lock
Cremated he will be his ashes to symbolize his true love of ocean
Quitley dumping them in myself no room for noise or commotion
4 YEARS LATER
Continuiously diving the waters yet to find a good keeping
As my metal detector gets louder of a nonstop beeping
I dive deeper to configure the beep as I come to a sudden hault
Seeing a large pink pearl covered in a load of ocean salt
Thinking twice in my head could this be why he took diving classes?
Double taking at the salt realizing what it is....its my uncles ashes
A sign of love, yet a sign of fortune he has guided me to his wishes
Now living in my uncles dream I shall for ever swim with the fishes

In all honesty, a bit of a played topic.

Although, you took a cool approach by sticking your vocab to under water-like. Well appreciated.
You fell off flow a few times, but basically maintained a good one. Solid vocab in here, and structure for the most part was continuous.

Your concept development was alright you had the story evolve and it went on pretty steady.

Props on the drop, only advice would be to space it out a bit, some kids dont' have amazing eyes.

I have 20/20 but I did have to squint a bit.

Props though.

Uppin............................................. for Feedback

noname 10-16-05 11:10 AM

Actually mystic,I think that gladbag nigga is correct.
This isn't rap....this is more like poetry.

And just becuz it has a rhyming word at the end...that doesn't mean it's rap automatically.
Your shit had a choppy(sometime none) flow from start to finish.

"Fastly realizing Ive been entraped under water for quite some time
Uncle will be waiting, I shall awake him with the astonishing news of mine"


^that is stretched.....try rappin that aloud or over a beat...it won't flow.
Seems like u neglected flow when writing this.

Thus...leaving you with a poetic peice.

As for the content...I can't really critique on it...it was "Poetic" as well.Just like I told daemon..it's your style..so I ain't gonna tell you to change it,cus that ain't right.But my personal opinion...is that the complexity is overwelming.

I,personally, was never a fan of "shakespearish" peices where u focused on vocab and complexity.

So yea....that's my feedback...take it however you want/

RTF on sumtin if ya want...maybe my battle wit lotty or w/e...don't matter.
