    Beaten Down

    the water beats down the temple of my head,
    creating a sacreligious feeling while i lie in bed.
    my face is sweltering and yellowing further
    but it doesn't affect my defect as a learner.
    i gain knowledge of atlantis, damaged and broken
    a mishandled and open package, vanished and hopeless.
    sitting on the side of the fence, pressed for time
    dressed, in line, just waiting as my death arrives.
    left for fine, and its upsetting my conscious,
    i deserve far worse than any of these faucets.
    tools, pawns, ignorant and stable. pissing on the table
    is the only way an angel notices the halo.
    wading down the corroded stream, i know this dream
    only im not wading, not even floating, see.
    i'm drowning beneath my cement filled tears.
    i've killed years by wasting time like the mob,
    it's called "be a citizen and find a fuckin' job."
    taxes, death, and a nuclear holocaust is all
    i depend on ever happening to us all.
    can the horse shoe ever land and abhor you?
    of course dude, one day everyone is forced to
    play the losing hand, because not everyone
    is a winner and some of us are always beginners
    and that is a subject that you all can test me on.
    because the worst person is not the sinner,
    it's the preacher of false believers.
    i saw a man who once described to me
    how his life would be if had kept his place in society.
    "some of us are standers and the others are leapers."
    i thought he meant leper, but then i remembered,
    we were standing on the edge of knife
    and we were both ready to fall free for life.
    so i had to choose which one i was to him,
    and then i looked at the sky and gave a nod to him.
    he lept off that knife and loved all of his days,
    but i noticed he gave a slight glance my way
    while plummeting to his beginning.
    it kind of left me grinning,
    because i knew at the moment i was envied,
    aggressively passive until the angels resent me.
    i stood there for years, reluctant to start
    my life, until one day my feet collapsed
    and that knife went inside and cut my heart.
    the inner demons laugh as freedom flashed
    a quick smirk at the deprevation of my soul,
    but i winced for a bit, then just let it go
    because death has become just another choice
    so it's time to let loose and rejoice
    for the fact that i'm no longer beaten down.
    see me drown.
    weakly frown
    leave me now.

    not bad, quite good.. could have some more solid multies littered throughout "for my liking" to give it a lyrical lift you know...kept on subject well..strycture was readable but i guess seemed a little under-developed..vocab was used pretty well probaly better for the first half of the verse...can become troublesome to follow at times because of all the run on sentences..still a decent drop

    I hate to be cynical but it isn't very good. Its content is okay, but the rhyme scheme is close to free verse.
