overdose

My World

 

Why does she do this why does she try

She keeps on ruining me and leaves me to cry

I go home after a day at school

I just want to slit, and drown in my own pool

Of blood which sounds good right about NOW!!!

Of God please tell me why and freak in’ how

Can I stop these thoughts from filling my head?

I just wish that I would just be dead

And then just regret everything I’ve done

While I’m there chillin with my dead homies. Fun

Now I’m chillin now I’ll never die again

Because I’vev done it already so I don’t feel no pain

Jus rotting body 6 ft. underneath your feet

But my soul is flying my soul is eternaly alive swee

Maybe he’ll give me another shoot may be another chance

Maybe this time I won’t mess up maybe I will dance

With the right perople and the right stuff

Maybe I won’t be skinny maybe even buff

All I really want is my sweet heart

To take me on a trip of love. Then I won’t depart

I want to be with her and never leave her side

Watch the sunset watch the moon and the tide

Have a romantic dinner on a sandy beach

Only problem is that there is no beautiful beach

That would match her looks her styles and her taste

But I will do my best and hope it don’t go to waste

Cuz it would be my second chance this I can’t mess up

One more time I can’t mess up.

above is just a preview at what my work is like

well i just overdossed on information about poetry slams. the history, what it is, major players, and other shinanagins like that. i'm not really sure if i'm suppose to say what i found in my research in here because that would take up enought space but i'm going to look at other peoples journals and i shall be writing here soon.

i am having a lot of fun with my project. i am right now looking for a poetry workshop to go to and possible getting into a slam competition but i don't know yet. my only problem right now is my mode of trasportaion. i have none...

my goals right now include: pushing my artists to finish there works so i can publish some hard bound books with art work, push myself to do more research and write my paper, go to a workshop (to show that i did something else other then just write poetry and print it out in a cool looking booklet), get my license so i can get a car so that i can go to a work shop so that i can prove that i'm doin more then just printing my poetry so that i get a good grade on my project so that i can graduate. hehe i just wrote a poem :) i'm amazing. i swear i'm not full of myself.

i just remembered that i need to put pictures in here so i will get that done asap

Added 3/23/09
this is my addition to the post of last week

some of m research includes
finding out that Marc Smith is the one that is given credit for starting slam at Get Me High Lounge in Chicago. The biggest battle of slam ,which included a team from Chicago and a team from San Francisco, took place at Fort Mason. this initially  started the slam movement.

the way a slam goes is the M.C. chooses some judges and there are competitors and there are rounds were the poets get about 3 min each and then are judged and the elimination rubric is usually 8-4-2. there are many different slam competitions. on is called an "open Slam" this is the most common slam type. "invitation Slam" only invited slammers get to perform. "Theme Slam" is were there is a certain theme and the slammers have to say poems that have to do with the theme. theme slams are sometimes restricting but this is so that all demographics are heard
