When I'm alone...

#1
~hey guys wats up, well its been a while since ive visited this sight let alone dropped anything... Those who no my work would no that i have the tendacy 2 produce some really long pieces, this was 1 of them i actually shortened it but its still turned out long... the length of this could turn people away n thats expected but like always to those who take the time 2 read this n reply its greatly appreciated... bringin it bak 2 the old PJ... Brat :p


When I’m Alone…

When I’m alone n I don’t wanna talk 2 anyone
Will u still be there even if this is what I did become
If I show u who I am, if I sho u the real me
… Close ur eyes just hear me, I can’t bare 4 u 2 c…

I’m gona cry unconditionally my mind will shut down
Slowly I’m gona end, n my eyes will chase the ground
I’ll count every last stone that interferes with my steps
An empty shado – I don’t know what’ll happen next
But as I start 2 imagine a life after 2moro
I wonder if I’ll always remain this hollo
So empty, so meaningless, at some stage I was mislead
Taken down a path that leads me straight 2 death
As I take another breath the air gets tighter in my chest
Like I wasn’t meant 2 live, not like this anyway
I seriously have no choice left in life but 2 pray
Talk 2 who’s listening, whoever’s up there
Whoever’s in charge – I guess whoever cares…

I can’t control my mind, or the thoughts that run thru
Coz I only wanna fall so much more, I no I’m hurting u
Hurting everybody around me, it’s my own stupid mistake
But I swear 2 u on everything what I’m writing isn’t fake…

I’m gona pure my heart 4 all 2 c – graffitied in crimson red
On my soul u’ll c it clear but surprisingly I’m not dead
Not yet anyway, only felt like that coz I’m high
If I apologize, promise me u wont question why
Coz I done wanna lie, I can’t justify wat I do
I can’t say anything more, coz it gets me thru
Don’t u notice when I smile, my eyes they burn
N I try 2 change, but I never learn
I’m weak inside I told u this – u didn’t wana believe
I showed u just how much by drugs u were deceived
Everything u saw on the surface – everything u thought I was
Is bullshit – was all fake n it was all because
I was made a different person, made 2 be strong
Lost within, but I was taught 2 belong
In a society that couldn’t understand my breed
A cursed seed who can’t help but bleed
Coz I have 2 look in the mirror n c wat I c
Exactly wat u can’t, I can c me
Thru every last day that came n went
All the times I tried n I couldn’t defend
Now all these walls r up – built after all these years
I can hide within, breakdown – n release these tears
Thru the eyes u thought could never cry
N can u handle my body shaking like I’m about2 die
When u look at my face n u get no reaction
N when u hold me n u feel that there’s no detection
Of life within me, but u’ll c the dead walking
Laughing n all that – u’ll hear the dead talking
Coz u’ll be there with me, but I wont be there with u
Physically yeah I will be, but emotionally I never made it thru
Think of how weird it is when u can c the dead breathing
The circle of life itself is mis-leading
Intriguing, but deceiving I just showed u me
Everything u need 2 c is printed 4 u clearly
Judge wat u can but understand the pain
Feel wat u want, but at least feel the same
As I did just so u can understand were I’ve been
Wat I’ve seen n 2 this moment where I just wanna dream…

In reality u can’t c me falling apart
Can’t c my confusion tearing straight thru my heart
All I’ve ever wanted 2 say – how do I say?
How can I prove or ever sho u that I never meant 2 turn out this way…?

I saw u looking at me, ur eyes catching mine
Previously I drew a line so that no1 could define
The different lives I lead – I just don’t wanna hurt u
I couldn’t live with myself n u just don’t have a clue
I shut myself from the gentle touch I need
Tho I no ur happy – my spirit still fucking bleeds
Reality sho’s me exactly wat I missed
No logic no reason. I understood with fists
The whole time my whole life I’m the 1 who saw
Who felt the impact, but I just wanted more
As much as I could take, coz I felt so sensitized
I was alive, I survived – look at my eyes
I died n I cried, I had 2 lie – I had 2 much pride
N I’m sorry I had 2 sho u who I am inside
Who I hide ~ … The reality u just don’t know
The 4gotten emotions that I never let go
Day after day n on that coldest night
Somewhere in my soul I no wats wrong n right
Thru the flames in winter – that claimed me deceased
2 the snow that fell in winter ~ That day I almost felt peace…


When I’m alone n I don’t wanna talk 2 anyone
Will u still me there even if this is wat I did become
I will sho u who I am if u can bare 2 c
Now open ur eyes n take a look….
~* my hearts in my hand, n I’m giving u me.

I'm feeling it, but you said it yourself, it's kinda long.

"Half short twice strong" - GZA

If you really care about people not reading the poem because it's too long or whatever, cut out lines and see if you can somehow create a line saying multiple things at once.

Here's a couple lines I liked in there:

WTF?! Alicia if U're still around the computer GET ON MSN! I aint talked 2 U in a while. :( Im writing right now [just saw that U recently posted so I had 2 stop by] so Ill check this out after that. Take care baby girl!

________________________

Aiight I Read this and its awesome, much improvement I C since I last peeped ur work. I dont necesarrily think poetry should flow, but you made some lines in this flow together perfectly which made me allow it 4 this occassion. ;)

"On my soul u’ll c it clear but surprisingly I’m not dead
Not yet anyway, only felt like that coz I’m high
If I apologize, promise me u wont question why
Coz I done wanna lie, I can’t justify wat I do"

Those lines right there just flowed like water and I was like "niiiice" :) Words as usual convey great emotion and I can feel U on a lot of them issues.

"As I did just so u can understand were I’ve been
Wat I’ve seen n 2 this moment where I just wanna dream…"

Didnt really like those lines though cuz that rhyme seemed really forced...and I normally wouldnt say anything about that because of the "seen" and "dream" rhyme, but its evident throughout the entire piece that you're going for consistent aabb rhyme form, with some internals in it as well. Maybe just switch up the words...

As I did just so u can understand what Ive seen
Where Ive been n 2 this moment where I just wanna dream...


Same syllables and flow, just makes the rhyme structure more flluent and cleaner. That was pretty much the only part I had beef with...U know the length aint no thing. The last line was a great clencher....perfect way 2 end the piece.

Some more favorite lines...

"Talk 2 who’s listening, whoever’s up there
Whoever’s in charge – I guess whoever cares…"

"I was made a different person, made 2 be strong
Lost within, but I was taught 2 belong
In a society that couldn’t understand my breed
A cursed seed who can’t help but bleed

"Now all these walls r up – built after all these years
I can hide within, breakdown – n release these tears
Thru the eyes u thought could never cry
N can u handle my body shaking like I’m about2 die"

"Coz u’ll be there with me, but I wont be there with u
Physically yeah I will be, but emotionally I never made it thru"

"I was alive, I survived – look at my eyes
I died n I cried, I had 2 lie – I had 2 much pride
N I’m sorry I had 2 sho u who I am inside

"Somewhere in my soul I no wats wrong n right

Great piece girl and nice to see you haven't lost your style and uniqueness. Loved the whole thing, the story, the flow, vocab, sentences, emotion, honesty - everything. Keep it up, don't stop writing.
 
#11
Wow.. that was great.. funny to still read your poems after so long.. still the same old depressing Brat :p just kidding
Everytime I picked a bit to quote I found another part I liked just after it so I'll keep the 1st part I liked:

"I can’t control my mind, or the thoughts that run thru
Coz I only wanna fall so much more, I no I’m hurting u
Hurting everybody around me, it’s my own stupid mistake
But I swear 2 u on everything what I’m writing isn’t fake…"

^^ I liked that because it sounded so sincere and painful
I liked this poem a lot and yes I read the whole thing.. If it's long, it's long.. no point cutting parts out.. I got some long ones too.. I know how they jus keep flowing..
Anyway, good to read one of your poems again
Hope everything is going well 4 u these days
Peace
