Aiight Check It.....


Im alone with my thoughts, More often than not
I tried to free them, But in travel they got caught
I try to speak with someone, But no one is there
So i continue to think to myself, Cuz no one cares
I sit and contemplate existence and revelations
But my mind and thoughts had prior reservations
To free them is insane, Theres no freedom in my brain
So i to cry to myself, While quietly screaming in pain
I have no one to talk to, No one to confide with
And it hurts to think, No one's there when i try this
No one's there when i slice wrists, all thoughts alone
So when i speak out loud, Im only talking to my soul
Feelings and emotions are bundled closely together
If its raining outside, words stay hidden from weather
Softly behind my skull, On the crevices of my mind
And no matter how hard i try, Im always out of time
Out of time to talk, And also out of time to listen
And no matter what, together my thoughts stay glistened
They never move from their spot, never budge an inch
I let them live there free, And never moved them since


Only 20 today

thanks for the extension...nice drop, mine aint much been to busy with the new year celebrations...

Under a blanket of darkness I lye
And wonder staring into the black sky
What will I become and is she the one?
And their not done, they’ve only begun
I try and sort them, but those two rerun
Over and over again they play back in my head
No answers are given, but more questions instead
Will I survive on my own? Will I be alone?
Answers swirl in my head forming a deadly cyclone
Of outcomes which could end bad or good
What should I do, I wish I only understood
Which one would be the best thing for me?
There are too many doors for the eyes to see
With each decision, doors open while others close
Do I leave for school in the states and try to expose
Myself to pro scouts, with that I have my doubts
If they would notice me, plus there’s other routes
If I remain, I stay with my girl who I love
She may be the one, but I need help from above
I pray to God to show me some sort of advice
Only answer I know, is life is a toss of the dice

Vote : Flow Intellligent

Flow:
Disagree with Dipset i liked your opening bars.........most ppl are afraid to come across with a bit of wit in poems when they write them assuming that 24/7 poems have to be sombre and serious so i like the confidence to go with the wit man.......vocab was well used and not over-done...your topic coverage was aight a few places where you came off topic and went off but it didnt damage ur drop too much...structure was on point.
best bars:
Feelings and emotions are bundled closely together
If its raining outside, words stay hidden from weather
Softly behind my skull, On the crevices of my mind
And no matter how hard i try, Im always out of time

whyte Ave
I liked ur poem overall but at the end of the day it was very basic..you didnt attempt anything if u feel me..you came at the topic and just basically described the topic there was no reflection in your drop....vocab was fine could be a lil more elevated in places...structure was fine....There was nothing wrong with your poem basically you just need to be more creative
best bars:
With each decision, doors open while others close
Do I leave for school in the states and try to expose
Myself to pro scouts, with that I have my doubts
If they would notice me, plus there’s other routes

VOTE FLOW
No hate bro I just felt Flow's poem had more power in it I liked urs and all but flows poem had more meaning in it and I was on the edge of my seat. Here is how I graded it all together with the top sections in ur poems.


Im alone with my thoughts, More often than not
I tried to free them, But in travel they got caught
I try to speak with someone, But no one is there
So i continue to think to myself, Cuz no one cares

To free them is insane, Theres no freedom in my brain
So i to cry to myself, While quietly screaming in pain
8.7/10 keep it up flow

this was okay.
both kind of took a similar approach
that being a reflection of sorts on their lives
and the confusing thoughts that accompany decisions, problems, etc.
not really anything special from either though
both came weak in my opinion
which kind of disappointed me a bit
but none the less it was a close battle, very close
alot closer than the votes show

Flow, your verse was decent
i thought the begining was just far to plain though
there wasnt a hint of emotion until about half way
through. Imagery wise it was okay, though
like i said i felt the emotion was lacking
but probably the biggest piece of criticism
would have to be that it was apparent you rushed
this. As there was no real transition within the
verse....

^see what i mean. You went from having no hope to
to optimistic in two lines. I would have liked to see you
build up to it a little more, know what i mean?
regardless, this is just my opinion i dont intend
to take anything away from your writing as poetry
is most definitely a personal thing

whyte...kind of the same deal. I was expecting
alot more from you and was a little disappointed to
see such a bland verse. Like flows there wasn't
much descriptiveness going on here more of a
straight forward approch i guess you could say
honestly i thought yours was slighty better in
the emotion department, as it was more or an actual
real life type thing, Unless flow's on the brink or suicide: (
jp..but that the wording let you down. It was far too
basic in my opinion; i could see there was emotion
trying to get out the lack of descriptiveness though
just seemd to hinder it. It would really benefit you
to be more descriptive and a bit more creative
with your ideas. Again like i said before this is just
my opinion i dont intend to take anything away
from your work, i'm in no postion to say what should
have been done or what shouldn't have.

this was way to close, and to be blunt a pain
to breakdown, lol. Both had their pros and cons
but i felt that this was just one of those deals
where i had to go with personal preference.
That being said i'm going with whyte due to just
feeling his verse more. Not hate to you Flow
your verse was cool in my eyes though Whyte's
just made more of a connection on an emotional
level, pros to both though

v/ Whyte
