Sweet Rhymes and Coarse Feelings
When the average person thinks of poetry, they expect sweet rhymes and coarse feelings
Rhymes structures in a way which conveys one of a universe of meanings
To not do so would be like a hammer blow from the status quo
It is simply not to do, or did you not know?
When did we allow the dictating voices of the past tell us how to convey our emotions?
A poem without rhyme would create nothing but utter commotion!
Why not tell it as it is?
Tell the world how you feel, how you love, how you feel, this is
yours or she is his?
Or does the rhyme act as a crutch?
A crutch which allows easy-to-do flows? It’s just
Hopeless by PinkRangerPower, literature
Literature
Hopeless
Water up to her eyes,
covered in white, turbulent waves.
She sinks below
and almost disappears.
The cold is deadly.
Piercing.
Deep pain surfaces.
She plummets further
until white to blue.
Blue to black.
And black to void.
Just more of the same.

These Words Aren't Pretty
These Words Aren't Pretty:
My verses are ugly and I admit to the fact
I can't use pretty language when I'm working with rap
Because the things that I write, are just the things that I feel
I ain't an Edgar Allan Poe or a Danielle Steel
And I'll be honest with you, I've got an envy inside
Because some poets got a flow that's as smooth as the tide
I read some stuff that they write, it's just so dope I ignite
Burning shame and my anger at the beautiful sight
And like birds of a feather, they're flocking together
These poets are the Gods and I'm nailed by the weather
But as the rain pours down, lightning resound;
I try to write pretty
Selfish Wish to Be Loved by OverthrowTheKings, literature
Literature
Selfish Wish to Be Loved
Why, why would I always ask me,
To end up with this last plea,
Isn't there somewhere I belong,
Singing a melodic life's sad song,
A desire so sweet,
But it still yet to be complete,
My selfish wish to love and be love,
My mind in the air so high above,
Hot tears burn for release,
All this selfish pain and suffering please cease,
I want to hate everyone and everything just for my selfish want and yearn for,
All these feelings of anger ready to roar,
What am I?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Tell me my tru self,
I can't even tell my true meanings of myself,
Confusing and diluting,
I'm sick of the never won game,
Who feels the urge? Who feels the same?
