Analysis of Emotions on Paper
I used to be poetically gifted
Now I just seen lyrically stupid
Used to wow with my spectacular vernacular
Lately my poems haven't had
Rhythm, feet, rhyme, or iambic pentameter
Verses now just outline my life that is so traversed in pain
I don't have a goal or nothing within my aim
Syntax less emotions released with one stroke of a pen
From this madness I can see no end
The harder I try the faster and further I fall
They say I play to much but when is
The last time you saw me with a ball
Everything to me is not a game
But my past is the blame
Everything to me is not a joke
The problem is I grew up when I was four
I laugh and play to hide my
Pain which is my heart's core!
