This Poem Needs a BEAT: 50/100 Freestyle by Darrell Herbert the Artivist

50/100 Freestyle by Darrell Herbert

Gone too soon from cancer, rest in peace to Amber

I have more questions and less answers

I'd ask Shelby if she could help me, but she would never tell me, let alone actually accept me

No telly, I quit chasing love after Marisa, or Ashanti, or Sarah, or Esmeralda, or Shania, or maybe Kelly

No tickets, fuck the trophies, and mind your business

I would put her on, but for right now that's off limits

On and off through a tough prison, I hope you listen because I'm bound to end up the one missing

Cross my heart and hope to die as if I was a Christian

Deleted you out of my life and out of my phone

All in all I'm at home while still feeling all alone

How can I grow if I've never grown?

That's like a star blowing up and not having the money blown

Never show love if the love was never shown

Alternating crafty metaphors, our trust issues just got divorced with no help or moral support

Lighting C4's with two bitches and four doors

Yes Lord, I'm at war, it's all forced

I'm not new to this, that shit was sick

Your old bitch is at the latest crib, and meanwhile I heard your newest shit

Hitting her up using the freshest hit-list

It's just a curse and a gift, that's like you slitting your wrist, that's like Bloody Mary holding all of the cards and all of the chips

I hit a point where I couldn't keep going

Saw the signs, but it's never showing

And it'll be a compilation, of bitter lies and truthful preparation, of the great or good and the riches payments, of false hope and your truest statements

Above it all it's underneath the mattress

Addressing those who would question the status

Empress of the soul, I'm the shining white knight without the pips to have a real queen like Letizia or a Gladys 

I know they want me dead, but I'm still alive

Still living as if I'm terrified, or petrified of dying while being crucified right in front of the two-faced triple eye

They'll wrap you up and pass it off as gifts

The more I forget about you, the less I forgive

Black sheep, but who's the goat?

We are not the same, we're just in the same boat

Going off on fake friends who just do the most

I'm either taken for granted or taken as a joke

You knew that I was too focused on bitches, that fucked up my image

Now the only time I hear from you is when it involves my birthday wishes

And I remember how I felt that night

You did me wrong while I gave you life

You fucked me over, and you did that shit out of spite, you was on one more than twice

Spit on my coffin before I say goodnight, because the light at the end of the tunnel isn't always bright

Major trust issues, but my real problems were never small

We used to be close, but now I don't hear from you at all

You wouldn't hold me down on my downfall 

You called it quits before I got the chance to call

Fake people are just another beautifully penned banger, I keep it close because we're only distant strangers

Single, but I don't give it a single thought

I'd sell my soul since it was never bought

That's like catching feelings that you haven't caught
