    When You Wish Upon A Star




    Jiminy Cricket
    “When you wish upon a star
    Makes no difference who you are
    Anything your heart desires
    Will come to you

    If your heart is in your dream
    No request is too extreme
    When you wish upon a star
    As dreamers do”



    Thoughts fade to dreams as my dreams fade to past
    Moments lingering at my fingertips for how long will it last
    I ponder at what lies in front, a perfect world created by envision
    Pondering amidst dreams as my eyes stay glued to the television
    Praying to be in a realm of peace, for these lies deceive
    Feelings of hope never coming, but among the dreamers must believe
    Being one of the individuals amongst the television, or is it too far away
    Letting destiny take the reigns and wait for the wishing star to say
    Circulating fury, my life is not what I pictured to turn out
    Close my eyes for an instance but failure still yearn doubts



    I still remain in the same world, the effect ceases to exist
    Chaos letting up as the rain eventually lightens to mist
    No family surrounds, never a mother nor father, was no love
    Maybe that’s the reason I wish upon a star for a better life above
    I wander the dreary streets, thinking of just if it was better
    Age isn’t an effect because my growth seems to come never
    Sympathy from no one, it seems as if nothing will remain just that
    Trying to remember the days past but nothing ever comes back
    I don’t know if this world is for me, destiny holds grim cards
    Sneaking out of my keepsake, wandering past the thin guards
    A find a shop window to peer in and the sight blinds my eyes
    I see a television set, the appearance shatters my hearts demise



    All this time I’ve wished to venture into the real existence
    Not knowing my place already was not far from this distance
    I had been living in the real world, but I thought life was ideal
    Television’s revealing a façade to appeal for something unreal
    I had been living in what I dreamed for, but the reality hit home
    For I was not amongst the rest, just a small boy whose never grown
    When I looked around, I realized, this is what I pray for at night
    Wishing to be accepted like everyone else and know my life is alright
    But now, as I see the chaos and confusing, I realize that my realm is good
    I had always heard “Be thankful of what you are today” but never understood
    Finally it came to me, these wishes were all just trying to uncover
    That I already had everything I needed, but that wasn’t yet discovered
    Revealing truth at last, So why wish upon a star for a higher place
    When your already amongst the clouds of heaven, with God’s arms to embrace



    Jiminy Cricket
    "Fate is kind
    She brings to those who love
    The sweet fulfillment of
    Their secret longing

    Like a bolt out of the blue
    Fate steps in and sees you through
    When you wish upon a star
    Your dreams come true"

    I really liked this peice, the pictures and structure of it all just works...it makes the peice really presentable + the pics are classy i dunno i like em, The emotion was def. evident, and the whole image your trying to pass upon the reader really puts u into the story, The fact that you broke it up into peices made the progression of the OM nice, and to see the different stages of him solving this problem. Making a statement with the end of it also. I thought it was a good read most def......and the setup couldnt of been more perfect. good stuff bro.

    Thoughts fade to dreams as my dreams fade to past
    Moments lingering at my fingertips for how long will it last

    Kinda awkward wording here man^
    I ponder at what lies in front, a perfect world created by envision
    Pondering amidst dreams as my eyes stay glued to the television

    i liked this^, nice imagery and wording.

    Praying to be in a realm of peace, for these lies deceive
    Feelings of hope never coming, but among the dreamers must believe
    Being one of the individuals amongst the television, or is it too far away
    Letting destiny take the reigns and wait for the wishing star to say
    Circulating fury, my life is not what I pictured to turn out
    Close my eyes for an instance but failure still yearn doubts

    liked it here, simplistic flow, nice imagery.



    I still remain in the same world, the effect ceases to exist
    Chaos letting up as the rain eventually lightens to mist

    this bar was dope.

    No family surrounds, never a mother nor father, was no love
    Maybe that’s the reason I wish upon a star for a better life above
    I wander the dreary streets, thinking of just if it was better
    Age isn’t an effect because my growth seems to come never

    awkward wording on the 2nd bar fam, emotion was nice in the first.

    Sympathy from no one, it seems as if nothing will remain just that
    Trying to remember the days past but nothing ever comes back
    I don’t know if this world is for me, destiny holds grim cards
    Sneaking out of my keepsake, wandering past the thin guards

    last bar was dope, this is the kind fo multies you should use ALL the time, where your rhyming more than one syllable.

    A find a shop window to peer in and the sight blinds my eyes
    I see a television set, the appearance shatters my hearts demise

    coolio^


    All this time I’ve wished to venture into the real existence
    Not knowing my place already was not far from this distance
    I had been living in the real world, but I thought life was ideal

    decent section, again nice emotion shown.

    I had been living in what I dreamed for, but the reality hit home
    For I was not amongst the rest, just a small boy whose never grown

    nice man^

    When I looked around, I realized, this is what I pray for at night
    Wishing to be accepted like everyone else and know my life is alright
    But now, as I see the chaos and confusing, I realize that my realm is good

    lol nice way to wrap it up man.

    lolz^



    O/A: nice drop man, damn creative lol, your flow was simplistic and awkward at times but it was nice the majority of the times, nice wording apart from a few glitches.. imagery and depth was nice, try add more multi syllable rhyming though man,



    RTF please.

    Re: When You Wish Upon A Star

    Nice piece here West. The topic was great, and the Jiminy Cricket song made this an even better piece. The approch you took on the topic was good and this was a good piece. I didn't like your choice of wording, I felt you could've upped your wording a bit. Your structure was good, flow was good, and as I said, overall you picked a good topic. Keep writing.

    "overall this was a Solid Drop...few bumps here and there if polishe'd a bit this is HoF in my opinion''(Could've said it Better) ..Creativity wise I have to say this was probably the most creative I've ever seen from you with the starts and the pictures it all ran with the story so well,well structured ..Rhyme Scheme and Flow wise was just about flawless with less to many errors good job on this part. ..Emotion wise you had it connecting at almost every end good job...The few bumps That I mentioned was lines that seemed forced you seemed like you was just trying to get it done at times,don't rush perfection..Overall I have to say you did your thing on this without some forced lines this with no doubt in my mind could've been hof.........good job.

    Please leave feed on my PS once upon a blue moon thanks.

    Re: When You Wish Upon A Star

    Wow man,
    This was nice,
    i'd prob. give it 8.5-9/10..

    I liked the imagery in this, and the wording, the begginning began slow, but at the end, it became very nice. I liked the way you wrote this, w/ much imagery, and Jimminey Cricket, was dope..I liked the picture, to go along w/ the piece..This was very nice, i enjoyed this quite well..Anyways, hit up my battle against Laurette, in Fl Champ match, and i am anxious to see more om's from you my friend.

    Re: When You Wish Upon A Star

    West, you've really been impressing me lately and that's great. Glad to see new writers in this area. The 'Treasure' piece that you did is where I first noticed your skill, this "one-upped" that easily. Nicely put together, in all aspects. I think the only thing that hurts you is it starts out solid, but then it gets weaker, like you're trying to hurry and end it, you know? I loved the whole storyline you had going though, and Jimminy is the dopest Disney character, no doubt. Good job, I liked it.
