I'm Ready To Die....

But not suicidal,
Quick to write,
slow to recitals,
not tonight,
feeling dizzy,
mind's clouded,
eyes misty,
throat droughted,
nose dripping,
fists curled,
mettle's tipping,
whole world,
unbalanced,
unnecessary,
no talent,
I confess; scary,
So mad,
depressed,
not glad,
Seacrest,
mentality,
working,
emphatically,
irking,
always,
never,
no change,
treasure,
none,
not,
fun,
haught,

I'm Ready to Die





- this was a fun one, I really enjoyed writing it. It's simple and basic, to-the-point, non-metaphorical, but it's syllabic strucure deacys untill the very last line when i restate the title so it does have an interesting rhyme pattern that's tied in. Perhaps you can tell I wasn't feelling my best that day.
I hate to elaborate more than Ive written but it has an interesting birth. As you can read in an earlier entry, I can rap. Well, a while back I was very disappointed that it had been taking so long just to record a demo with a freind of mine. It was four months before he got back to me and told me I wasn't good enough to make an appearance on his mixtape (frankly at the time I don't think I was either, but I'm much better now and that is beside the point). So I wnated to share my gloomy feelings via another blog (livejournal, my user name is also SkanMan* if you wish to view my profile there). I wanted to make a creative post, at first, a rap. But I decided since I wasn't good enough, I'd write a poem. Thus; Skan's first poem is born.

*Skan, SkanMan or any other variation of The Skandalous One you can come up with are my aliases. If you really want me to, I'll give an explantion in a later post.
