Can't sleep, so here's a poem thing

  1. I was born in the presidential hospital
    Then someone cut my neck but they missed my jugular
    Each and every try they saw that I just wouldn't die
    Even when it went up my spine and tried to blow my mind
    And every thing I did burned deep into my soul
    And every light brought me to my knees and forced me to let go

    See we're born with three eyes with the third sown shut
    By being fed with only lies and timed only to be stuck
    But every once in a while a person wakes up
    And dies a little bit but only the bit that corrupts
    The threads come loose and you open your eye
    You learn how to read and then you start to cry
    See the truth is everywhere, it's in between the lines
    You can't see it anywhere but it doesn't hide

    You were born a slave and there's no way out
    So high and so wise, so you know by now
    You can go back to your so called life
    Or you can live and never die
    Life is their disease and you see it in your breath
    Don't take this literally, the only cure is death

    For the first time in your life, you feel something real.
    Something outside the limits of what you're allowed to feel.
    You see how much trouble they've gone through to keep you asleep.
    And the more of their chains and spells break off of you,
    The more you realize how nothing they've done has ever had any real effect on you.
    When you die, you become a part of something higher,
    And all the anger and sorrow you've built up will be moot.
    And them? Fuck them and their world.

    Life is a dream,
    And all I know is I'm awake
    And that everyone around me is asleep
    And the world is so lonely
    And as nice as it is to be with you
    It's so much easier to breathe when you're awake

    *I didn't spell check any of this.
     
  2. + rep my friend.

    That was fucking solid.

    2nd stanza is an epic win. I had it flowin' in my head the entire time... reminded me of this rapper named Shad who lives in the city I go to school in. Nice work. You should think about recordin' that into a song or something.
     
  3. haha, I would but my voice is pansy.
     
  4. Try amping it up then... Experiment with it.

    That was awesome. I didn't sleep either.
