If you guys learn to rap about how you feel, you can join Oddest Clique and make no money like me.
But, at least making a mixtape gives my life purpose for the foreseeable future, even if it's definitely gonna be whack s**t about being a suicidal drug addict with a dead crackwhore ex. I'm gonna rap about what I know. :nerdy:


I've written poems.


Cool. Me too, I've written lyrics of some sort or other basically for the past 20 years or so. This specific form just relies on big strings of couplets (2 bars) or quatrains (4 bars). 12 or 16 bars, typically with at least a two syllable rhyme on the end. Creative extended metaphors are good. I like to make use of vowel harmony and try to make use of playing with where my stressed syllables land to create 'flow'.

Getting better has been a nice distraction from what's otherwise a burning dumpster fire of a life. It's also a good way to make people crack-up at work because I can tell jokes and tell them in ways that make otherwise just weird wordplay more accessible.

I'm n where n is an unknown variable. :|

I'll write something right now.

This day has been a bust,
But I've done some errands.

Are they good? I'm not sure.
Everything around looks a blur.

Am I me? Am I real?
Is this what I'm feeling or thinking?
That nobody loves me.
Nobody cares.
When all I can seem to think I do
Is sit and stare.

Awesome. I like the ending, it's very relatable.

You'd 8O if you saw how much I've got written. I think it's >1.4 Mb now, considering how much plain text fits on a floppy, that's a lot of words.

I'm not sure I can assign a number, so let's go with charcoal. I feel charcoal.

I'm starting to see why the poor kid died from starvation and loneliness when the rich man just walked by on his schedule, assuming his help to another like him didn't matter.

Somewhere between -2 and -5, I'm not really sure. My depression is coming back, but obsessing over special interests is helping.

i'm a bit higher than my usual "content." the field of democrats is often adopting bernie's positions. they were articulate and reasonable.

%null%

I'm not assigning a number to something I can't quantify. I'm thinking I'm on the verge of a much better life but I'm not at zero or any other integer so null it is. Life is getting better for me REALLY SLOWLY.
