MissAshley Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) this is kinda about me having writer's block, though not as good as my last, i think it holds it's own Self-Preservation a yes or no question...am i satisfied with self? can i handle being poor, if i still strive for wealth? will i let my past failures determine future victory? will i ever do something spectacular, become a part of history? when will i know when i've reached my peak? when i can no longer write? when i can no longer speak? or maybe when my passion fades like tears into water and being an individual becomes too much of a bother metaphors and similies, divorce and part ways then a block forms and swirls around my mind for 80 days as a test of my patience, a challenge of my will my pen is my weapon and i still aim to kill to leave a massacre of phrases in the path of all the haters behind me cuz i'm so deep in my words that they can't even find me i'm at another altitude waaaaaaaay up high at the top i've been burned, and i've learned, now i stand on writer's block and maybe life for me really "ain't been no crystal stair" but i'm still a "phenomenal woman" so in desperate times i won't despair i'll just take any pain and trade it in for contentment and turn towards gratitude instead of bitter resentment now that i've seen the light it's like soul restoration and this is only step one towards my self-preservation Ashley let me know what ya think Edited June 4, 2005 by willjadafan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfuqua23 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I loved every bit of it. I was very interested in it becuz of the title. My dad said his professor wanted him to remember self-preservation. "when will i know when i've reached my peak? when i can no longer write? when i can no longer speak?" - these lines stuck out to me the 1st time I read it cuz I'm always thinkin about this matter. "and being an individual becomes too much of a bother" - I agree. It does. Even if U take pride in being ya-self, sometimes it's hard to maintain. Especially if U have no one to relate to. I would have quoted a couple more lines, but my mouse is actin' up. This is definately a dope poem, verse, lyrics, whatever U wanna call it. Kinda hits home for me. I really liked it.
