ok...welcome to your first om
the verse showed alot of emotion
but i think you kinda of lacked imagery/metaphor speaking so make me draw a picture about what you were dealing with..how your dad has changed and why you resorted to takin his almost lifestyle
the vocab could of been better but the flow was decent and smooth
good try on this first om...but i think you got potential to elevate
good shit..
and can you please return the favor and give me feedback
on Dear Miss Hangover
and on

I see exactly what you mean. Reading over some others work I got a feel for actually painting a picture in the readers mind. I'm going to try and work on a something thought out rather than just typing and see how that goes. Thanks for the feed, helps me grow.
I'll take a look.
Looking for more feed! Help me out!
Like Rush said you have a lot of emotion in this piece & a lot of space for imagery. As you write a piece never skip the opportunity for a sense of imagery. The piece carried itself well, but try to instill the imagery & with it change the wording. Example:
They say times are hard, but they'll only get harder
Thats how they delt the cards, but I don't run like a coward
With imagery could be:
They say that times are hard,but why bother when they'll only get harder
With the hand I was dealt I couldn't go much farther,
But I never folded and ran like a coward
Sure the structure is odd, but you give yourself 1 bar with a supporting line. You can now feed off of it to your next. Take your time with every bar. Sometimes I reword a bar 5-10 times until it seems just right.
But...

Thank you all for the feed, its greatly appreciated. This shit makes me better for sure.
Deadpool: Thank you for laying that out for me, rather than people making a post like 'youre doing this wrong' or something, you gave a nice example on how to change it, and that really made it clear for me. I have a pretty good idea on how to improve this, so thanks bro
DJKingDavid: Thanks for the compliments, I'm working on metaphors a bit, starting to get the hang of them, I should have some new work up soon that will demonstrate my new found knowledge
IStabMidgets: Thanks man, I wasn't looking to write a hole song really, just threw up something quick, but glad you can see it like that!
Anyways, I should have a new piece up some time today displaying a little of what I have learned. Anyone else... Feed me! I need to grow!
Uppin for a little feed.
If it falls again, I'm letting it die.
For your first Open Mic dude, this was great.
A concept of a criminal who is forced into what he is by his childhood, & so hating it & also vehemently blaming the person he feels pushed him towards it is a great little idea that I can adapt to. There was one bar that stood out to me,
I sometimes think things are better when they're explained, but I thought the sudden storytelling of his Dad giving up dealing only to become something worse had more of an impact than you could have if you stretched it out into ten lines. I like this bit a lot, it was small & interesting for me. I can almost believe it because I don't know, I feel with that little light you shone on it you can see you actually relate to it, in that one little bar.You gave it all up, only to become a drunk
I'm your only son, dad.. what the fuck
The overall piece garnered it's own emotion as your built on it, & opening with Dear Stranger & ended with Sincerely... your Son was an interesting touch &, without the line I quoted, perhaps would have been a neat little twist to close it but it's not actually worth cutting those lines I liked. This was an emotionally impactful piece, so it's lack in depth and storytelling are just common because it seems like if you want to form certain things you have to bypass others, something which when you're a young writer you find hard to accomplish.
At times your flow wasn't great, & perhaps a few inner multis mixed in every so often might help this flow better, & giving up certain bars like "harder" to "coward" wont be neccessary because with an inner multi you can be rhyming elsewhere rather than just the last few syllables of each line.
I like this piece, you obviously have things to learn & if you elevate & attempt to attribute things you learn & build from this piece, you will be a good writer. A few inner multis or inner rhymes might help the reader see the poetic side of the piece thus helping them read it, & a better structure might make it seem like you have actually prepared the time to make it easier to read, but what you've shown here is something good writers build from: a decent concept with emotional value that will help access you to the reader. If you just keep writing, stay at it, then you will see how things develop in your own way.
Stay active, write as much as you can when you feel it but don't feel you ever have to force it out if you're not writing for any league or deadlines, & overall just try to develop what you already have & build from that. I don't believe this was a keystyle, because unlike Freestyles they have concepts and topics that they keep to, & where a freestyle will burst out in one minute, a keystyle usually takes about 10 or 20 & is an actual piece.
Perhaps take a few hours perfecting your next piece brother & drop it over the weekend, & read & feed as many as you can until then to build up a rep as a serious writer who is willing to support the rest of us.
Good luck, mate.
Return the favour onto my piece,
Revelry
