Rap

I see my face in the mirror (dis-sapointed aggainn)
I lived to see another day (when are my days gonna eeendd?)
tryin to come to words of realization
that what I been yearning for
may never come to end my frustration.
And all my degradation can never cease to pretend
That maybe one day all this pain may come to an end
(And yet) fate seems to rattle me
caught me in a storm of my own morbid fatalities
so here I layyy, listenin to another rappers melody
all sick and beat up, while my mp3 player got the remedy
A home grown punk, from a very strict family
never thought that he would make such a (calamity)
he\'s so haphazardly, and so crazy that would he
bring a revlover so close to his brain after downing a bottle of remy.
All he wants is just one moment of clarity
so he could soak in all moment he could bear, just barely
But, all the ones he loved are long ggoonne
so hes sitin here tryin to write this damn sssoonngg.
hes the one in the back, thats been waiting so lloonngg
to find his release, but all he found was the boonngg.
Now he so lost in his purple haze
that time seems to drag on, day after day
his life, his world its all in dismay
And no one around wont let him borrow a couple rays
Of sunlight, so that he could see the sky
but no one wants to help so he\'s waitin for his turn to die
So alone that no ones gonna cry
when I get sent six feet deep no ones gonna try
to remember, the one in the back of the class
his headphones on with a pencil and a pad
his atmosphere, another ten letter word
discretion is the name of my cement feathered bird
He listens to slug, encasing his every word
The sickness in his voice, and rhymes that he cured
He focuses on his flow, and reads between the lines
all the sorrow he carries will end in due time
but not enough to say all of his goodbyes
So all he does, is cover his face up with lies
\"I know I\'m gonna make it, I just have to try!\"
yea right... So all I have to say
we are all gathered here today to bury
the one called Jay.

originally posted on the discussion board, and I thought it looked good enough to put as a poem so I hope its good to the readers.
