Poetry Slams

[Anti-Colin]

Anyone like these?

Most of the hip hop artists I like participate in poetry slams, and they are pretty good.

Here is one of them, I recommend them to anyone who likes hip hop artists who have talent.



I played connect the dots with your beauty marks
And I ended up with picture perfect sheet music
I read your musical notes with a composer's eyes
And heard out song for the first time
My spine is still tingling, mental images of your fine tune
is what I've been nodding my head to lately
Every now and then you can catch me humming
your nudity under my heavy breath
I heavily suggest you resurrect
your ancient neglected dust collector
If you distrust the distance in my seldom plucked heart strings
Sit stripped before your full length
Perform your reflection backwards
Maybe then you will understand the rhythm in my movement

Listen when the news is sent
Extend when the rules are bent
I'll be waiting to take your leave
Make me a victim of your two step
Make me an apprentice of your body parts
Teach me to dance to your beauty marks
I'm stepping on toes here and I don't care
It's hopeless, it's hopeless
It's hopelessness holding this openess to blow a kiss
So close your lips but don't get pissed
and throw a fist at this vocalist
I'm not emotionless, in fact I broke my wrist
when I wrote the list of all those I miss
This is my poker face, Mister Feel Nothing

Not bad.

I'll take as a quick stab at one.

I listened but the time was missing
Ascended through hours reminiscing
Christened forgiveness for witnessing
In this thing, chemistry is heavenly
When heaven seas dreams of seven deaths in me
Definelty pleasant in pheasant seams
Or so it seems, though she screams
Whoa is me, slowly lowing lo' the streams

I actually didn't write that, haha I wish I did. Anyway that was from Sage Francis.

Here is a slam about suicide.

(I didn't write this one either)

Sometimes i don't want to live,
I just want to die.
I take a blade to my wrist,
Slice and then i cry.
I want to see myself bleed,
And prove that i am real.
If it means i have to die,
then my life i will steal.
People call me crazy,
and say that i'm a nut.
But if they saw through my eyes,
they'd keep their damn mouths shut.

I don't want to feel like this,
I don't want the pain.
I wanna be like everybody,
i wish that i were sane.
and now my wrists are bleeding,
i made the cuts way too deep.
i reflect on all the things i've done,
and then i start to weep.
i know that i am dying,
the bledding i can't stop.
darkness starts closing in,
and my ears begin to pop.
i wish i hadn't done this,
i wish i went for help.
but now there is no turning back,
look what i've done to myself.
i wanted to commit suicide,
so i guess i just gave in.
but i know if i had really tried,
my thoughts could never win.
i try to call out for help,
from my family and my friends.
but i know it will do no good,
'cuz my life's about to end.
so i decide to lay back,
and wait for my soul to leave.
i think of all my loved one's tears,
i wish they wouldn't grieve.
i just want to take it back,
but there's nothing i can do.
my mother walks into the room,
and i mouth the words, " i love you"
i hear her start crying,
asking what i did.
asking how i could take my life.
saying i'm only a kid.
i didn't think she loved me,
i didn't think she'd care.
but now that i am dying,
i realize she's always there.
she takes my hand into hers,
then i start going numb.
she brushes hair from my face.
how could i be so dumb?
i hear sirens in the distance,
i know they're coming for me.
but by the time they get here,
my soul will finally be free.
almost as if she read my mind.
my mother gave me a kiss.
she says," honey you know i love you,
and you know you'll always be missed".
after hearing her say those words,
i let my mind slip away.
i wish that i could back,
i wish that i stay.
now i know she loves me,
my body is at ease.
my soul has now slipped away,
and the pain has finally ceased.
