Cure The Sickness

They rushed towards my fallen body as I clutched my chest
The newest in a long line of fucked cardiac arrests
Tunnel vision eclipsed my eyes, I could see the future
My whole life in a bubble starring me: the abuser
I'd always been the lowlife, even coke-d to the eyeballs
In a suit and tie dispensing shit like coffee to my rivals
24 hour party people, I had the membership
And no divine intervention would see the end of it

I steadied myself on the people, but I pass right through them
Is this a prank? Some kind of bodiless union?
I’m detached, gravity becomes an analogue switch
Struggling to keep my footing, has it come to this?
Images pass my eyes in rapid fire flashback
My life as a tableaux, how I want to trash that!


At 6 I was abandoned to the private school sector
To the hands of men with canes, the priests and molesters
Hard pallets to sleep on, they said ‘it built character’
As did beatings from the teachers, each strike a narrator
They told me I was a heathen and the purest dipshit
And this was for my own good, they could cure the sickness

I graduated with bruises at age 11 to Eton
My parents now like TV special guests whenever I meet them
So, to another dorm and cruelty in another form
My peers had no morale compasses to navigate from
So it was daily war amidst upper civilisation
Violence mixed with etiquette, and now, how I hate them!
I realised if life was as cruel as what I had witnessed
I should use my own anger as a cure for my sickness

21, now I’m a free man, but chained to a desk
In a 9 to 5 firm, mentally deranging at best
Watching the clock shave minutes off of time’s chin
My mind a bloodbath; thoughts are an axe I’m grinding
So I visualise a million scenarios of rape and murder
Punctuate it with white lines to take it further
Hammer my stress out on a keyboard and grit my teeth
Slam reports on my supervisor’s desk on mid-week
I know my stress level is rising so I vent my pain
Torture animals until they’re eventually slain
Of course, the next step was a logical one
And homeless people don’t count as real to a prodigal son
A late night stabbing in a dark alley is hunting for the witless
It helps me through the day to day; it’s the cure for my sickness

The time is now, i'm 28, and out of control
My heart hammers a tango, a shout from my soul
Guilt runs like a cancer through my vein’s pitiless
The heart attack gave me peace, it was the cure for my sickness







Umm.... yeah.

Mission : Sleepwalk


I arrange thoughts, this strange plot seems to come alive
A cage haunts while the lame faught for his chance to survive
And he arrives at a place, qualms erased, clarity to his mind
Because if you can keep pace, you'd be surprised at what you'd find
he's NOT insane, but inside? maimed, scared and feeling dull
because it's the same feeling he gets when he decides to bash his skull.
The hull of his brain is damaged, In need of some repair
And it's funny it's been maimed by medication for the despair

I'm so fucked up, why am I staring at myself in the mirror?
I'm gonna puke everywhere, this nausea's made me iller.

it's not fair, the addiction, who knew the pills were wicked?
But i don't care, i'm itchen, laid up in my bed, pain stricken
I'm sick and all alone, ever since everyone else left my life
but i'd rather wish to clone OLD memories in this place with a pipe
Hit it with might, and relax, sit back and get to rememberin
But my dreams don't add up to me, leavin my memory dismembered and
sometimes I can't think, it stinks and is awfully scary
I'm on the brink of disaster now, where the fuck is my family?

The observer looks in, with my mind it's hard to meet
The same conclusion he draws, "It's progress none the least."
He jots a few notes quick, An M.D. who likes to boast shit
Think's it'd be a good idea, to simply increase the dosage
He's got the most shit, whatever your looking for
Cocain, Heroin, Shrooms, and Weed, what you lookin to score?

I go into my closest, Northern Lights?! let's twist up some nugs
It's like I'm a doctor now with this MASSIVE collection of drugs


I don't remember soberness, when it's over this won't be so bad
But the holder hits the addictive pits in my soul to keep me sad
But what is the truth in this? Am I mad? Or am I dreaming?
As i look to the place where I like to inject, now steadily bleeding
Reality contorts, the message of course, is beware of what you do
Because the shrink doesn't exist, and the only one to blame is you.



Temptation is a great power, it can overcome the feeble mind
But if you give in and cower, your loved ones will be hard to find.

Beware the drugs, their addicting...
... don't fall victim to my plight
and my future? it's hard to predict it...
... I'm sleep walking through life.

These were to very good pieces that both brought up somewhat of the same topic...

Johnny- I liked your drop a lot, You played it out like a reminiscing story and you kept right on the point of your drop all the way through and it flowed pretty nicely, although there were some parts where it was a little choppy but that is not a huge concern. You had some good vocab and nice multi's for a solid story, good work


Alpha- You also had a nice topical about addiction, you had some good vocab, but I felt as though you used some vocab that wasn't really need/didn't fit well with some lines. But likewise, it was a minor detail. You used good imagery for your verse which I could picture easily about what was goin on in that man's (or woman's) life. Nice job.


This was a preet good battle and the choice is pretty tough, but I'm gunna give it to johnny because i thought his was more clear and to the point, but also had a better central view of his topic...nice job to both of ya's..

Cool takes on the topics, Johny was just written a lot nicer, Alpha your rhyme scheme is aight but some shit I had a hard time making rhyme when I sounded it out while Johny's rhyme scheme wasnt impressive but effective and he had a lot of metaphors and his style and creativeness with this peice was nice, i gotta give him the vote, Alpha your piece was too predictable and straight forward, you had some nice writing techniques but you need to up your arsenal

Johnny- nice imagery man, i felt like you ended it too early though, like there was a point in time that seemed missing or something that should've bridged between him being 21 and 28.. anyways i liked how it wasn't clear what the sickness really was, except that everyone and even himself convinced him he had it. eventually driving to the point of a tainted mind and body. anyways the drop was good read, welldone.

Alpha- this was the topic i was originally going to write to, but i couldn't decide where i was going with my concept, I liked where you took this piece though. it kind of made me feel like the story was coming from a pov of a man who's already awoken from his long lost life of substance abuse. recalling his dreams of reality. anyways i couldn't understand how he was hooked on pills before weed though, that part didnt seem logical, but anyways it was a real read imo, northern lights you say?! lol
