I definitely disagree with Pious..

Mariah's style is just more poetic. While Faime is using description of events and feelings and stuff of a story, Mariah is using solid imagery of a different kind to create the picture in the reader's head. It doesn't clearly describe events and shit, it is abstract, and I believe it makes for a better transmission of emotion. Her words are more condensed and have more meaning.

eg "Majestic clouds shroud the cardboard noons
And life is left holding a paper mache noose"

It's not like clouds are actually shrouding noons made of cardboard or life is somehow holding a paper mache noose. You said her verse seemed to drone on, but I think it was more interesting to read than a retelling of events that rhymes. Not that I'm saying Faime's verse was bad, it was good shit, Mariah's simply appealed to me more.

V/ Mariah
