  1. Poetry? I should drop some few poems😄💜
     
  2. Not a poem
    During the cold nights of winter, you find yourself wandering aimlessly, searching for a warm place to sleep for the night. As your breath begins to form crystals on the wind, the chill seems to move in and hit your bones, causing them to ache. As your bodice begins to shake, all you can do is curl up into a ball where you stand, to retain some form of heat. There, on the ground you fall asleep. By morning your pelt is white with snow and you are barely visible. You stand and shake your mass, removing the snow and ice that had formed overnight. As you begin to pad off, your paw falls into a print, slightly larger than your own. Upon investigating it, you realize that it is a wolf print. Following the prints, you pray that the wolf who left these footprints behind, would be a kind soul. You follow them until you reach a spring, where the prints end and begins again on the other side. You follow through with your initial plan and wade the waters. Upon reaching the other side, you feel as if your whole body is numb from the cold.The ice cold water was too much to take and again your body realizes that it cant handle the harshness of the weather, and your frame hits the ground. You awake hours later inside of a warm den. Awaking to this was a blessing. Your dome raises slightly to see the back of a huge masculine. His auds shift backwards hearing your movements and he slowly stands and turns to look you over.

    "Ah..you're awake.. Why is it you cant handle the snow?" He asked quite pointedly.

    In your freshly awaken stupor, you really couldn't think of a proper response for the brute. You sit there with a confused look upon your visage as you stare at the brujo.

    Seeing your dumbfounded response the Regal laughs hardedly. " Welcome, loner. You're safe here.

    You may stay if you wish.. but you will most defiantly have to be trained to hold your own during bad weather though." He chuckles while talking to you.

    So now you are left with an option. Do you wish to stay with the ones who saved you...or flee in fear?

    What will be your destiny?

     
  3. Angry City Kid rant #4 I think not sure...
    (Another keystyle... let’s go)

    Fakes be so nosy
    Damn
    I guess they bored/
    Ya girl wasn’t my goal
    But I guess I scored/
    Back to the money
    life moving
    so fast/
    Love the sound
    of the Autobahn
    ...fully digital dash/
    Some loser...
    mad at me
    Hit em wit the mop/
    thotty mad cuz I dipped
    After she gave me top/
    Might have thought
    You were the one
    But I aint say so/
    I hear the rumors
    That I started...
    Shows what they know/
    Bozos got me laughin
    Tell me where im from/
    I have never been caught lackin
    I have never run/
    6’2” 230 truss shiny
    Im a easy target/
    Plus I got that work
    Come see me
    bout some
    Profit margins/

    Get the picture
    This a mufugin kaleidoscope/
    To know its quality
    You might just have to try the dope/
    Steady sayin they bout that life
    But...
    I highly doubt it/
    Only word I spoke was “lawyer”
    While the sergeants pouted/
    Some people...
    make excuses
    But I made a way/
    Some people cry bout shit
    For me... Tanqueray/
    Pour a little out for my best friends
    And make some more best friends/
    Dead presidents snaggin
    Somewhere round near the west inn/

    That’s some shit...
    that you lames...
    Cant really google.../
    That’s how I know you fake
    Syrup bih learn judo/ 😹
    This shit sound foreign to you
    Cant glorify it.../
    You either live it or you don’t
    no such thing as try it/
    My set is a riot
    my set is the bias/
    Why it’s always those who’ve made no moves
    Sayin move in silence 💀
    You’d be better off if you had just kept it quiet
    Compared to you im Space X
    But this aint rocket science

    Let’s play a game...
    let’s call it WW3
    Who’s the boss of whom
    And make make it clear who is we/
    The people label people heroes
    That fight for free/
    All men created equal
    I support the ones that fight for me/
    last time I checked
    Wasn’t about colors/
    You might have some melanin
    But that dont make us brothers/
    Ive seen those in the struggle
    React to their pain/
    And been offended
    By those who sideline
    and victim blame/

    When it was war
    dirty was on the front lines...
    There in the situation
    front and center
    at the time/
    Once the smoke settled
    lames...
    Giving their two cent/
    Nobody asked you shit
    We always knew you were a bitch/
    I peeped all day long
    who you were siding with.../
    Wrong side... go figure...
    say you ridin but ya actions contradict/
    I didn’t offer help for people just to come to me...
    I kept it solid so they did that shít comfortably/

    The ones I dismiss sometimes
    Get petty vendettas
    I cant help you were boring
    got shit to do that’s better/
    Moved past memorials
    Ashes and empty flower vases/
    Turned poverty to better places
    And bills to bills with bigger faces/
    So to me every problem’s
    just a lesson learned/
    The universe is a big place
    Stress isnt the world/

    You always sayin who you spoke to
    And that you’ve got a witness/
    Keep your nose on your face champ
    And out of others business/
     
  4. To my one...

    I knew I had truly fallen in love with you after you told me your life story again...
    ...For at least the fifth time...
    ....And I wanted to hold you while laughing together during the humorous moments.
    ....And I wanted to hold you tightly and wipe your tears away during the sad sections.
    ...And I felt myself holding you even closer ...anticipating the part of the tale where you talk about us getting to know each other and your decision to take a chance on me....
    I’m still ever so curious to know what is it like to tame a lion.
    I can’t help but marvel in your courage and I can’t wait to hear you speak about your journey to our grandchildren.
    Until then though... feel free to practice your storytelling skills on me... every night.

    -Yours

    Cups of the D'uesse,
    Goin up on a Tuesday.
    Too busy chasing for scores,
    So I can't pour more...
    I'm open like a four door,
    So I'm feelin valor galore.
    I think I need more whores,
    Dancing in this K0RR|ĐOR.
    There's no wall sittin...
    Success got em all smitten...

    Get me intoxicated,
    Now I'm feeling liberated...
    From this veil of forlorn,
    That keeps my thoughts torn.

    Shield me from disappointment,
    That takes root within my heart.
    Rub it in like it's ointment,
    Heal my wounds from the start.

    Surrounded by loud music,
    Drugs and bottles of liquor...
    Women dancing all over,
    Like I'm the designated hitter...

    Stop dancing on me,
    I'm losing my mind.
    Stop tryna slow grind,
    I can't think but...

    Cups of the D'uesse,
    Goin up on a Tuesday.
    Too busy chasing for scores,
    So I can't pour more...
    I'm open like a four door,
    So I'm feelin valor galore.
    I think I need more whores,
    Dancing in this K0RR|ĐOR.
    There's no wall sittin...
    Success got em all smitten...

    It's utterly depressing...
    The emotions I'm suppressing...
    But I'm not stressing,
    Partying like it's a weekend.

    I think I adore this whore,
    She's full of vigor.
    All I feel is zeal,
    Is this the real deal?

    Fucked up off the D'uesse,
    Had a bad day last Tuesday.
    Feelings transparent,
    Partying to hide away...

    Introduced me to her friend,
    Now I'm sinking on the deep end...
    Keep the bottles comin,
    Keep the stallions comin...

    Cups of the D'uesse,
    Goin up on a Tuesday.
    Too busy chasing for scores,
    So I can't pour more...
    I'm open like a four door,
    So I'm feelin valor galore.
    I think I need more whores,
    Dancing in this K0RR|ĐOR.
    There's no wall sittin...
    Success got em all smitten...

    Think I need more whores...
    Dancing in this K0RR|ĐOR.
    Think I need more whores...
    Dancing in this K0RR|ĐOR.

    Drown it all out,
    Good drank and music.
    Drown it all out,
    Stallions and liquor...

  6. They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

    They may not mean to, but they do.

    They fill you with the faults they had

    They add some extra, just for you.


    But they were fucked up in their turn

    By fools in old-style hats and coats,

    Who half the time were soppy-stern

    And half at one another’s throats.


    Man hands on misery to man.

    It deepens like a coastal shelf.

    Get out as early as you can,

    And don’t have any kids yourself.

  8. Damn Lil Homie


    Damn lil homie feels all alone,
    With no place to call home.
    With nobody to call on,
    You see the tension in his jaw bone.

    He cuts himself just to...
    Feel something other than pain.
    It's like the only time,
    He ever truly feels alive.

    He feels dead on the inside,
    Like from the neck down he's paralyzed.
    He can't feel a damn thing,
    His feelings were never compromised.

    His mutual relationships,
    All ended up being platonic.
    So he started being alone,
    Lacing his thoughts with chronic.

    He put his faith in...
    The ones who were the least faithful.
    Used to claim they love him,
    When all they know is being hateful.

    He doesn't pity himself,
    He's a coward and he's lonely.
    5 o'clock news said he ended it all,
    Damn lil homie...

    3 or 4 folks showed up,
    To his funeral ignoring his corspe.
    They only came by force,
    His momma didn't even sound hoarse.

    Nobody shed a single tear,
    And they've known him for years.
    The other two were his siblings,
    And they begged when can they leave.

    The fourth was the pastor,
    Mumbling about bible chapters.
    The mood wasn't sadder,
    Than the fact that even in death...

    He ain't really have shit,
    In a society of dimwits.
    Lil homie was all alone,
    And no one knew what was goin on.

    So next time you see a mf sittin,
    Somewhere alone looking sad...
    Maybe you should comfort them,
    Cause in this century it ends bad...

  9. Prettier

    I think you're prettier,
    When you're happier...
    I put a smile on your face,
    So when you frown I still see a trace...

    ...

    Why wear Christian Dior,
    When you're perfect how you are mi amor.
    Heart on my sleeve you yerk it,
    With all the feeling you conjure.

    The world is ours to conquer,
    With many possibilities to ponder...
    Together I can we concur,
    To explore love with valor...

    You seem to implore,
    That fate will ensure...
    A future for us that's secure...
    Probably why I hold you more...

    I hold you extra close,
    When I know you'll be gone long.
    Crazy how we're so close,
    I can tell when something's wrong.

    I don't remember,
    What life is like without you.
    I imagine it'd be dark,
    With what I've been through.

    So baby I need you,
    And when I say it I mean that shit.
    Tell me you're expectations,
    But I overachieve and go beyond...
    Of you I'm very found,
    Stuck on you like a lily in a pond.
    I don't need nobody else,
    When it's you I can't help myself.
    I'll never break your heart,
    And always remain by your side.

  10. Authenticity hits different


    It’s dark in your room
    Only the light of your cell phone shines through
    the small window of hope you have to connect with what you’re searching for/

    Puzzled because you’re incomplete
    reaching for security past the boundaries you’re comfortable with... hoping to heal the mistakes... open wounds that left you hurting more/

    I saw through the emojis and memes you posted to disguise your fears/
    I looked past your pride to find the coward inside trying to hide from mirrors/

    You can try to deny the reflection I shine upon you when I’m near.../
    Deface and devalue my worth/
    but like a rose... I rose from the dirt/

    So who do you think that you hurt?.../when you toss what you shared with me aside...and I chose not to expose you/when you whispered the secrets of those you were close to/

    And I know that you’re basic and boring and were that way since the day that we met/I always pushed you to be your best.../you... And told the real you’s all I’d accept/

    Then you turned your back on me to gain those affections of others...I asked to speak to you privately.../ to sort out our differences and you denied me/

    And I stayed respectful even when I cut you out of my life see/... to plant a garden that’s fruitful you’ve got to fully get rid of them... you can’t just hide weeds/

    I see you feel dandy lying but dandelions ruin lawns/Hopefully for you it’s dawned/I keep my enemies close... to use as pawns/

    What goes around comes around/And when that sky castle you’ve built comes crashing down/I’ll be under the same name when you came checking for me the first time I was found/
     
  11. This is literally the best megathread ever. Dump all the trash in one place🌚
     
  12. Some Sad Simp Shit


    Memories still flutter,
    Of you loving each other.
    Remember feeling flustered,
    And melting like butter?

    It hurts for you to relive,
    These abandoned memories.
    You went from best friends,
    To unrequited enemies.

    You can still feel their touch,
    And remember their scent.
    They used to make you blush,
    Their touch gave you euphoria.

    In their eyes you saw yourself,
    Staring back at yourself...
    It hurts eating away at you,
    A pain deeper than love.

    At night you can't sleep,
    You toss and turn in cold sweats.
    You sit in the dark and weep,
    While they hop on private jets.

    Their success got you insecure,
    Infuriating you every moment.
    Your emotions aren't obscure,
    Nonchalance is your opponent.

    You feel like they owe you,
    Using them like they were nothing.
    You treated them like a tissue...
    Blew them once then tossed them.

    You're holding your head,
    Wishing you were dead.
    You can't speak to them no more,
    Now you feel worthless.

    One bullet in the chamber,
    You gone cock it back.
    Tired of feeling this way,
    You decided to push your shit back...
     
  13. Dear Father


    They say be your best,
    A saying I deeply detest.
    Leave me to my isolation,
    My heart's achin'...

    There's no mistaken,
    The liquor I'm chasin...
    Sorry father I've strayed,
    Embracin' emancipation.

    Free will has me stressed,
    I made the wrong choice.
    I strolled down the wrong path,
    Taking pride in my voice.

    Dear father please forgive...
    My enemies before me.
    And please forgive those...
    Who used to adore me.

    I been so up lately,
    Know some niggas wanna floor me.
    I'm still outside,
    Why they in the house like Cory?

    Never fear another man,
    I know he bleed the same.
    I don't live up to expectations,
    I know I'm the one to blame.

    Expectations can be cruel,
    Determination is the fuel.
    I don't belong here,
    I'm sinning like it's right.

    I can't keep my mind right,
    Lusting for the money and power.
    I can't get no rest,
    I get lectured hour after hour.

    Dear father be my witness,
    I fell off the path at an early age.
    I'm open like a book,
    Letting sparks fly like a mage.

    Opposition all around,
    How can I not let it spark?
    I can't rest on the bench,
    I get uneasy at the park.

    And I know better than most,
    To be weary of what's in the dark.
    I fear the light it's overbearing,
    So I got accustomed to the dark.

    Even in death I may never rest,
    Cause where I'm going it's painful.
    I been sippin pink and purple,
    Got me puking up the rainbow.

    I'm clutching my chest I'm tired,
    Dear father please stretch my hands.
    I know they've gotten filthy,
    Since I learned to stretch my bands.

    Dear father stretch my hands...
    I learned to stretch my bands...
     
  14. Nicole (A Kite To You)




    I keep it a C-note,
    Packing the heat we tote.
    My folks gone repo,
    Don't let the team vote.

    You ain't a masseur missy,
    You still rub me the wrong way.
    You movin fishy,
    Don't get your ass filleted.

    There's a thin line between,
    Love and hate.
    You ain't real at all,
    How can we relate?

    You blatantly,
    Disgust me.
    The morgue,
    Can't keep up with you.

    This beam could give you a lift,
    I'm not your friend.
    See I could make you a myth,
    Or a forgotten legend.

    Betrayal is your best weapon,
    But this shit so played out.
    You call up whoever you want,
    It's guaranteed they get laid out.

    Who's talking now,
    Them baby niggas ain't on nothin.
    Who wants to go first,
    I'm only hitting where it hurts.

    Broke bitches bawlin,
    Only ballin I see you do.
    You speak on me again,
    Bet I get right witchu.

    You worried about everybody,
    Worry about yourself.
    Sob story here we go,
    All patterns I know.

    AGK, FK4L what I'm on,
    900 nights and days.
    I got a tight lid on credibility,
    Fuck what you say.

  15. 900
    I can't relate to these niggas,
    I'm cut from a different cloth.
    They had silver spoons,
    I had bread crumbs and broth.

    I couldn't afford to be a sloth,
    Being poor made me avaricious.
    I'm like Beerus towards destruction,
    I find the turmoil delicious.

    All these emotions floating aloft,
    Minimum wage washing dishes.
    Cut from a nearly extinct cloth,
    Sippin purple till my body twitches.

    I'm in the cut like bacteria,
    When I pop out I get vicious.
    I ain't pay for none but a tag,
    Shopping off these bitches.

    Ain't no need for comparisons,
    My lingo ain't the same.
    I'm in the big picture,
    Why these lames tryna frame?

    I'm a wrecking ball,
    All obstacles skedaddle.
    I'm racing at super sonic speed,
    All throughout Seattle.

    I got that overkill,
    For any peon who want to battle.
    Hold up crack the seal,
    Only D'usse in my castle.

    I got a couple of shadows,
    Living in my shadow.
    They callin me shallow,
    I'm coming for necks with gallows.

    I ain't none to fuck with,
    Like an STD or a sprained ankle.
    I'm deep up in this shit,
    Bitch don't get entangled.

    I took an odyssey,
    Just to see all this money.
    Pockets on Lizzo,
    Closet on Home Depot.

    900 days and nights,
    I'll never forget that.
     
  16. Dear luv

    When I looked to the heavens and thought I couldn't love it reminded me of you sweet as a dove sent from above swept me off my feet and sent me in a dream 😍
     
  17. 🤷‍♀️

    One again I have been given a chance,
    To draw fourteen lines on a blank canvas;
    Would I set my heart free and let it dance?
    Shall my thoughts utter it’s countless ideas?

    The moon ought to know what to say for me,
    Who has six lines and tongue-tied tendency;
    She often listens to my howls at three,
    Of things I dare not say so carelessly;

    I leave my sentiment upon the sky,
    Who express feelings finer than rhymes;
    Poetry sits so neatly in lines, but why?
    Would coloring out of it be a crime?

    Infinite words I never did declare,
    I was certain there was time to spare.
     
  18. I love you more then a clear blue sky,
    And I might not be able make you stay,
    But I'll hold you stable as a storm passes,
    Through the thunder as the ground trembles.


    Thank you for saving me,
    You showed me what true love was,
    Even when you couldn't save yourself.

    If you go down a road into a church,
    Go to the 3rd row to see herself perched,
    A green eyed angel
    Singing a sweet tune.
    And take the mirror home so you'll always see what I see in you.

  19. Realness > Broke Imitation

    Heart to big,
    To be wasted...
    On a girl with a lil attitude.

    Intentions too pure,
    To be insecure...
    Over someone playing games.

    Feelings too real,
    To be wasted on a fake one...
    She hurt my mama's rising son.

    Her bitterness is evident,
    I made her relevant...
    Tweeting about me like the president.

    Take the pain away,
    The pain of being disappointed...
    By the words she'd say.

    I done gave her,
    What little of myself,
    That I had left.

    Reported for theft...
    And I've wept,
    All the nights she soundly slept.

    Please give my time back,
    Time I could've had...
    Not wasting on you.

    Could've been elsewhere,
    But fate is sheer...
    And it's clear...

    I wasn't meant to be happy.
     
  20. I gripped too hard

    On that mountainside

    Of the love that you discard

    And that you tried to hide



    Philophobia is the name

    Of the fear you own

    You found shame

    And left me alone



    Love was nothing to fear

    Especially when it comes true

    When a love comes near

    And desires you



    You may have been scared

    But me

    I felt like falling.
