Wrote this last night. It's OOC obviously, as anything I post that's IC has that teal kind of color. Anyway I just thought I'd share it. I don't know if I'd consider it one of my better poems since I havn't written poetry in a few years, but it's not one of my worse either. This is kind of half a poem/half a rap. If it were a rap I'd change it a bit, but when you read it you can also kind of make up a beat for it to go to... Er... Well anyways, enjoy. I guess.
Inside These Walls
Let me tell you a story about a man long ago,
Let me tell you the story about a man who wouldn’t grow,
Who could know he was so low to pick up that ho,
Who could know that he would go, forgetting the word no.
So I know the man who brought me to this show,
So I grow without this man, I must grow alone.
Because…<br>
Inside these walls,
It was a happy time.
Inside these walls,
I thought you’d always be mine.
Inside these walls,
I thought you were the man.
Inside these walls,
I watched as you ran.
I was delivered this fate, and although not great,
I learned to control all the rage and the hate.
I kept sitting at home, jumping for the phone,
Hoping that you would call to atone,
To make up for the cheating, make up for the lies,
Make up for the tears you brought to my eyes.
I was sure you’d come back, then I thought it was me.
I thought I was the reason you didn’t want to be,
In this house, you moved out, without even a shout,
Or a word, how absurd, or what it’s all about.
But I forgave you man, I gave you a chance,
And a chance, and a chance. Now I through up my hands!
Because…<br>
Inside these walls,
It was a happy time.
Inside these walls,
I thought you’d always be mine.
Inside these walls,
I thought you were the man.
Inside these walls,
I watched as you ran.
Was I too much to deal with? Was I too hard to raise?
“It’s a phase, you know how kids act these days!”<br>What did you think, I was mental? Of course I’d act up,
But what a role model you were on your boat with that slut.
Oh I shouldn’t be angry! You have your own life.
Who am I to judge when I can’t see through your eyes?
That’s what you always taught me, you were so full of shit,
And now twenty years have passed and I still suffer from it.
Have I bit off more than I can chew? Do I mean what I spew?
Do I understand you? Do you understand me?
Yeah right. You can’t even see.
You’re eyes are so blinded by the sex and the greed,
Maybe next time you’ll think twice before you breed.
Maybe next time you’ll think twice before you mate,
But then again I bet it’s already too late.
Because…<br>
Inside these walls,
It was a happy time.
Inside these walls,
I thought you’d always be mine.
Inside these walls,
I thought you were the man.
Inside these walls,
I watched as you ran.
You tucked your tail and ran, and left me the man of the house,
Now I’m the one who wants to get out,
Of this job forced upon me, and make my pockets less empty,
Demand you to see what has happened to me.
But you don’t even care, you’re not even aware,
Still pretending you’re eight-teen hiding the gray in your hair.
Then you run out of cash while you’re smoking your hash,
Now all of a sudden you want to come back!
You want to make up for the pain that you caused,
Thinking time might have paused and you’d be welcome back,
Grab your hat and be gone, I ain’t fallin’ for that.
So take your beer and your lies,
And be gone from my eyes.
You’re my dad, and you brought me into this world,
But don’t you doubt,
That I don’t have what it takes to take your ass out.
Because…<br>
