Her Again

Lemme know how it goes

One last verse before I end the show

I don't need a beat or a muse

Give me a pen and a pad- I'll get 'em used.

Only thought when I'm writing is her sweet voice

realizing everything I did- well, it was the wrong choice

Y'all rejoiced when I broke it off

Wouldn't leave us alone- we fell a part.

I've been in love with her as long as I can remember

Yeah, swore I'd be there for her for forever

Didn't work out that way, Now I'm stuck in a whirlpool of depression

I took a dive- my heart took a recession

Not realizing it- it became your possession

It's on break 'cause it can't take anymore

It bent and it's ready to break- pieces falling to the floor

Get ready 'cause this is the last rhyme

No, I didn't say last line

What I meant was give it time and you'll see this is the final wind

up. Last chance to make something new

Somethin' that might get through to you

Yeah, I know my friends'll hate me

I understand, but they don't see what I see

It's been over a year yet you're still in my thoughts

Whether it's love or what.. The answer can't be bought

It's circling my mind- but it never comes and it ain't kind

Think about it, I'm sure I'll get the answer in time

You know I miss everythin', I really do

But there's nothin' I can say to make it clear to you

Remember when we sat and laughed with your sister at the park

I remember then I saw the spark

I want to see it now

I want to see it. But how?

There's not a way I can think of

There's not a day I don't think of

But I want to try

Give me a little while

Let me sort things out

Let me figure out what my heart's screaming about

You always came first, now you're second

I hope you don't mind- but I remember falling for you in a millisecond

It was fast, if you recall

I would have done anything for you, and yeah I mean all

The things you asked

Everything we did in the past

Everything we thought wouldn't last

I'm sure it can if we try

But you think it's gone; you're ready to die

You want to sleep and never wake up

But you shouldn't, but I know you've had enough

You've been treated as if dirt your entire life

I know this, and I know it ain't right

I did the same thing to you, and I cry almost every night

We both tried will all our might but it ain't gonna happen

They keep us a part- they think it's fun; always laughin'

I don't understand..

I can't comprehend.

I thought love lasted a while

And I guess it does but the memories get thrown in a pile

Always tryna forget and relax

But when I think back on it I always react

In the exact same way, I'm in a relapse

It's every two weeks I think about all of this

Every two weeks I come back to all of this

I don't know why I do it just seems to come around

When I'm happy or sad and feeling down

When I'm screaming or not making any sound

everything's hell bound and I don't think I can go another round

Casa!

I am slow-going, I know <3

I had a chance to listen and I definitely think that rap and spoken verse suits you. Here's the thing I wish to impart to you, remember that content should always fit form. What do I mean by that?

A lullaby that is soothing is usually whispered.

Dr. Seuss verse is read in a sing-song way.

Think of all your favorite rappers, pay attention to variation in their voices, their tones, and how those variations will fit with their lyric. When you write love, your voice should reflect it. When you write pain, your voice should reflect it. Not just your voice though, your words too! There is not much variation in tone from your reading, everything is said almost mono-tone in a rapid-fire way and your words reflect that too. There is a lot of focus to beat, a lot of focus to words with hard sounds and you deliver them in rapid-fire hardness from beginning to end. It definitely shows a hardness to the narration which is appreciated, but it would be dull if that was all it was from beginning to end.

Find places to slow down, find places to lower your sound, or increase the sound! Find places to change the quality and tone of your voice --- once you do this, then maybe you can find places in your choice of words to change to go with that pitch, so that word + pitch together can create moods!

You talk in the beginning a love story, about a girl with a sweet voice-- your own voice should reflect that.

I hope this helps. Always happy to chat this out with you more of course c:

~ as always, Audy

Feel free to take everything I say with a grain of salt, because this seems like a hip-hop song and I am completely useless at reviewing hip-hop.

I know alternative hip-hop doesn't necessarily follow the standard verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus structure, but I felt like this song was a little bit amorphous and could benefit from being re-structured. It was also difficult for me to read because of the way it was formatted, which comes back to what I said about re-structuring the piece. There are a lot of details, which are good and give the song a nice personal touch, but they sort of lose their impact with the lack of organization. If you re-work this, you could very well have a solid, emotional piece on your hands.

Good luck, and keep writing!

I felt like this was a weak start and it felt rather repetitive. Your stuff starts to feel all the same and most of the poems I can't distinguish anymore. It's fine to have poems with the same themes and ideas, which yours tend to be love, but you have to do something more for them if you choose to do this, like making and creating imagery that helps the reader distinguish your one poem from another. This doesn't mean you have to abandon your voice with every poem, rather make it so that each poem is different and independent rather than your poetry feeling like leaning shelves that are ready to topple over each other.

Saying this, most of the poem doesn't really have anything new. The rhymes in this poem feel rather restricting of anything else trying to break through. The rhyming is so loud in here that it drowns out the rest of the variables in what makes a good poem like imagery and flow and all the like.

The flow of this poem felt awkward with it being choppy with the rhyme and the word choice that you use being kind of off a beat. It could be improved with you giving it a read aloud so that you can see where the flow is interrupted by things like questions and forced rhymes.

That's all I had to say about this poem, I hope I helped and have a great day!
