_perfectionist.
Like it or not, most artists out there are perfectionists. Writers will write something, and be content with the finished product, only to hate it about a week later thinking “I could have written something so much better.” Artists will strive to do better the next time they put pencil to paper or paint to canvas. That’s how it always is. That’s how we improve and outdo...

WRONG.
Good things come to those that work hard.

_iron woman.
A little bit of the piece I’m working on right now.
wewritewespeak:
She has no time to be broken. Too strong, too tough, too tired to be broken. Her fatigue hangs off the weary joints of her skeleton Like paintings of a better tomorrow Looking into a mirror to a broken yesterday. Studying chalk traced outlines of past relationships She hangs in her gallery of lessons and regrets. Too...

This is for every woman who knows that it’s far better to be single than have a man who will never understand you. This is for every woman who’s not afraid to cut a man loose if he’s not doing his job. This is for the WOMEN who get hated on by GIRLS with insecurities tattooed to their faces. Sweetheart, they hate you. They hate you because their confidence is crippled with handicap...

_pain.
No matter how it happens or what caused it, pain is fleeting.
We can never expect it to hurt as much as is does, even though we can mentally prepare for it. And then it happens. And we wish for everything to go back to normal without that pain in our lives. Regretting was caused it even if we gave no thought to it before. Big or small, physical or emotional, it hurts.
Then there comes a time...

after some reflection.
I have discovered (or decided) that one of the most horrible things that could happen to me, would be if I was turned into a chicken. Being turned into a chicken would probably be akin to turning a Justin Bieber fangirl…into Justin Bieber. Just with a little less crazy and a lot more logic. Because I would not hesitate become a cannibal and eat other chickens. Or if worse came to worst, I...

You got that right.
rhymelikeme.
So…this really doesn’t make all that much sense. But I wanted to just rhyme for fun, pretty much…BAHZ, baby! Just having some fun.
Let me teach you how to rhyme like me Which for most emcees, is a lifetime dream Leave you with a red and white tie-dye tee If you’re not agreeable then that’s fine by me See, I try to make it big but I’m lacking the funds So now, I’m just rapping...
what have you done for me lately?
We’re all guilty of it at one point or another.
We let one negative occurrence change our opinion of someone, even for a moment. Sometimes we resent them for doing something, or failing to do something. But forget that sometimes, the circumstances can change based on the situation.
We have that “But what have you done for me lately?” mentality too often. We start to feel that...

In the course of half a year or less she would have gone to pieces. There is – and this is both the good and bad in me – something spectral about me, something that makes it impossible for people to put up with me every day and have a real relationship to me. Yes, in the light-weight cloak in which I usually appear, it is another matter. But at home it will be evident that basically I live in a...

untitled.
Looking back, I thought I tried to make you fall for me to prove that I could Though the effort far exceeded what I usually would. One look at her and all my servers were crashing I thought to myself… Lately I’ve been lacking the passion So take a chance Really, what’s the worst that could happen? I hopped into action Tried to make some advances Then the heart on my sleeve transformed into a...
a thank you to women's style.
Dear women,
Those of you who put effort and pride themselves in the way they dress…I thank you. And even those who don’t because you have innate ability to make anything lame or goofy look good or oddly attractive. I’m talking oversized t-shirts, sweatpants, reading glasses, baseball caps, jerseys…hell, even fake mustaches. And for some reason, you make them look nice....

a girl who knows her music.
A girl that can rap along to Blu & Exile with me then bob her head to A Tribe Called Quest and Pac Div. A girl that won’t look at me like I’m crazy when my screwface comes on when I listen to OG Hindu Kush, Elzhi and MF Doom. Someone who’ll snap their fingers to Gil Scott-Heron Then just as quickly sing some Ingrid Michaelson with me. A girl that appreciates some Stevie...

Miel, why must you always make such sense? Talk to them!
meeemz:
My lady friends and I were indulging ourselves into deepass topics of conversation over dinner, and our oh y’know the usual boy/relationship rants. I initiated the fact that for some peculiar unknown reason it irked me how many guys always had that “Nice guys finish last” motto. As if they hit a forever-repeat button on their...

I have a close friend who's Buddhist,
iraeen:
and I was taught to be Christian, and because of that, my Pastor says that he’s going to hell. Man, that’s kind of fucked up, isn’t it? I mean, damn, we’re all going through the same shit. And he’s headed for damnation, because of what he was raised to have faith in? Oh, please don’t ruin my day, bitch…cause that’s dumb. Get three strikes, and darling thats one.

meeemz:
I think it’s sad how some people believe that the only reason I choose to pamper myself to decency, is solely for another man’s eyes. I admit, as ladies we generally enjoy the routines of gettin’ ready, dolling ourselves up, sifting through our closet in order to look extra pretty for a guy(s) but come on, you’re talkin’ as if the only reason we should be lookin’ good is if...

Five Lessons About How To Treat People
tipstosaveatucla:
1. First Important Lesson - “Know The Cleaning Lady” During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the...

poetry.
Most of the time, it annoys me when people tell me that they suck at poetry.
The way I see it, poetry is a form of release. It’s not bound by any specific rules because a lot of the time, it’s just an exercise in honesty. It’s talking to yourself and putting your emotions and experiences into words. Even if you’re not the best with words or write in simple terms, that...
