    Get Back Up

    Get Back Up

    I can’t even write or look at you cause who knew?
    Everyone but me!
    As a result this here is as be
    For some reason I’m the one that can’t look you in your eye…
    Cause you won’t tell me why and all I have to listen to is them lie…
    And now I also I have to drink to cry
    I believe in life after death
    But pac… is there any hope left
    I used to hate hope because it just sets you up for disappointment when you believe
    But it really does keep you going I have to agree
    I never did have any tricks up my sleeve
    But now the trick supposed to be me?
    Just please help me to finally see clearly
    That’s all…
    April 29th though? That was dead wrong
    But you must’ve felt like I did you wrong or you was just trying to move on
    And if you did or didn’t holla in some type of way or song
    Why would someone like me think you love me cause of who you were and my memories were literally gone!
    Help me to be sane
    Violate all them mother fuckers that think I’m their game
    Tell them let us know when they go insane
    If there is anything about that, that’s my shame?
    Just the stupid things I did or do but can’t help
    Just like they got away with me laying on a metal shelf
    It’s gross it’s icky cause they still on me and refuse to get off my body
    How am I supposed to get back up if they’re still doing it… I swear to God and to you it’s NOT ME
    I relapsed again… heard you say 13 and glitched fuck out
    Then my bf tried to control me so I just flipped the fuck out and continued to shout
    But to tell my mom those lies
    wtf IS really going on and wtf IS this about?
    I’ll get back up this time if you pray for me
    But be honest ain’t too many sunny days I see
    But I’m the one acting funny?
    I’m pouring my heart out every rhyme
    Now they going to say it’s not mine?
    They can’t stand that it’s for the money I’m trying to climb
    How would they feel if everytime they tried to get back up…they like nope your gift is mine
    And then I get hit with the dumbest shit that makes me sick every single time
    Fucking with a mentally ills persons head and body and security - should be a hate crime
    Make them all pay their own fine
    I’m done crying cause they the ones lying!

    Re: Get Back Up

    Okay, this is like, really raw. Like tell the waiter to send it back 'cause the steak is still moo'ing raw. There's a lot of emotion but it needs to be refined. Bring it back to the lab; there's potential here but it lacks direction, focus, and most of all, it lacks grip. There's not much, as a reader, to hold onto as the verse progresses.

    but here's my thoughts


    "And now I also I have to drink to cry"
    Could be a typo, but it reads like a stutter and that actually kind of works. Lots of emotion in this line, one of the realest bars here.


    "I believe in life after death
    But pac… is there any hope left"
    wait a second is this about tupac i'm confused


    "Why would someone like me think you love me cause of who you were and my memories were literally gone!"
    Okay, you need a line break here somewhere. Or trim it up somehow cause this bar is toooooooo looooong.


    "Just like they got away with me laying on a metal shelf
    It’s gross it’s icky cause they still on me and refuse to get off my body"
    Wait a second this sounds like you got raped in prison.


    "Make them all pay their own fine
    I’m done crying cause they the ones lying!"
    'done crying' is as good a way as any to end a verse but the rest of this bar is just so weak. Paying fines doesn't feel like a strong metaphor here. And maybe something as simple as switching it up to "they the ones lying, but/so now I'm done crying" would give it more oomph.
    Either way, do what you want with it, it's your poem after all not mine. Deep shit regardless, thanks for sharing.

    godbless.
    stay busy wit tha pen

    I agree with Bigberd's comment about the emotion shown in this piece. When reading through this, I felt that it was strong enough to capture the readers attention. I think that a different title may be more suffice for this piece, but you definitely stayed on topic.

    Descent Drop.
