    Once Unwanted

    This was based on a previous pic for PS week 8:



    A solemn sheath defines him
    Protecting from once unwanted


    Exposure.


    A soul’s keeper
    Covered in fear
    Soon numbed by the purpose personified
    To thick layers that penetrated
    Steadily and quickly
    Suffocating final remnants
    Sinking in, enveloping weathered sparks
    Of a fire dwindling weaker
    And weaker still
    Since birth


    Society had screamed “Spray him!”
    “Spray him with the extinguisher!”
    Taken aback as one
    Pushing away and losing
    To the known, inevitable fate
    That now must be swallowed
    Like the innocent victim
    Persistently holding out
    Until under society’s pressure
    Giving out
    And during the final seconds
    Willingly
    Putting their head under the guillotine
    Allowing the blade to judge
    Mercilessly
    Condemning everything
    If not only
    Their submission

    Now
    A surrendered prisoner
    No longer different
    Unable by words
    But instead, presence
    Manipulating perceptions
    Warning friends he did not have
    To be different
    Than everyone
    Than the accepted crowd
    Than him
    “Keep Pushing!”

    Now begging, to his new hopes
    compassionate and undaunted
    A solemn sheath defines him
    Protecting from once unwanted

    Now
    A surrendered prisoner
    No longer different
    Unable by words
    But instead, presence
    Manipulating perceptions
    Warning friends he did not have
    To be different
    Than everyone
    Than the accepted crowd
    Than him
    “Keep Pushing!”

    A poem should curve
    like the bell of a tulip,
    or a pistol grip.

    I really liked the wording in this yet imo at times it seems out of place... "a soul's keeper/covered in fear" great opening bar...however I dont think u stayed with that train of thought..."soon numbed by the purpose personified" still extremely strong wording "purpose personified" that image can be so powerful..."to thick layers that penetrated/steadily and quickly" I dont understand that..."thick layers" of what? "the purpose"? "fear"?... "Suffocating final remnants/Sinking in, enveloping weathered sparks/Of a fire dwindling weaker/And weaker still/Since birth"...I love the imagery here...imo I feel ur r talking about "fear" i could b wrong but I guess we may all see works in our own perspectives..."since birth" seems off tho like its out of place or all together unneeded...


    Society had screamed “Spray him!”
    “Spray him with the extinguisher!”
    Taken aback as one
    Pushing away and losing
    To the known, inevitable fate
    That now must be swallowed

    I really like the last two lines...interesting first couple tho...Im not sure of the significance of "extinguisher" but it still doesnt take away from this it just doesnt imo add nething to it either....

    Like the innocent victim
    Persistently holding out
    Until under society’s pressure
    Giving out
    And during the final seconds
    Willingly
    Putting their head under the guillotine
    Allowing the blade to judge
    Mercilessly
    Condemning everything
    If not only
    Their submission

    I love the progressive tone...its almost suspenseful like those old movies thatg do not have voices just that orchestrated music that pulls the story along..."Allowing the blade to judge/ mercilessly/ if not only their submission" I really liked this part...

    Now
    A surrendered prisoner
    No longer different
    Unable by words
    But instead, presence
    Manipulating perceptions
    Warning friends he did not have
    To be different
    Than everyone
    Than the accepted crowd
    Than him
    “Keep Pushing!”

    "keeping pushing"...throws ur tone off but watever besides that ur story telling abilities have really progressed...this almost reminds me of how this guy I used to read writes Black Liquid...hes ok kind of gets caught in his rhyme scheme a lil but who doesnt...lol...This was really great work

    Now begging, to his new hopes
    compassionate and undaunted
    A solemn sheath defines him
    Protecting from once unwanted

    This is almost as dark as edgar allen poe...lol its really dreary in its tone if that makes sense....


    neway this is a really good piece...I really like the structure its hard for writers to chose per say there structure per piece....I really like artist who can step out of a constant rhyme scheme or flow method and examine a new type of writing....very nice bro looking for more from u in the near future....
    "the ink of a scholar, is worth a thousand times more, than the blood of a martyr"--lupe fiasco
