rap

***This was an experiment to see how quickly I could come up with a rap***

i get sick of using rhymes
but i get sicker of biding my time
until my cracking mind
collides into another line
and here i am at my feet
screaming never mind
screaming i lost the beat
when i never lost the time

i find it easy to be
stuck in solidarity
swallowing clarity
like it's 90 proof whiskey
vomiting up my soul
all the words i can't let go
stuck inside my skull
with no space to grow

poisoned from the sun
the hollow burning's just begun
because when i rip apart my rhymes
it stops becoming fun
it just really needs to be done
like a bullet from a gun
my words that fire
just transpire
from the clicking on my tongue

the rhythm's not a game
it's just a bullshit way
for me to finally say
that at the end of the day

i don't really know what the hell i'm saying
i'm sick of these games i'm playing
because all the words
that attack me first
are the same words that i'm praying

so i sit quietly on this throne
and ask god to leave me alone
to my thoughts burning my bones
till nothing's left but coal
just quietly recede
into something less than me
then maybe the words
will take their swords
and just let me be fucking free
