Rhyme My FRUSTRATION with ‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem
Warning: A pile of emotional vomit.
Been writing since May 2022, the moment I married the words, I forgot the world.
But our fate was chewed up, spit out, and booed off the public.
I was fightin’ for life, you thought I writin’ for fun.
We got no helpers, no programs, let alone critics.
And all the programs claimed for diversity but actually wanted dynamic of big name and money.
I got no mouth to feed, ain’t no diapers for laptops.
But damn I got $0.01 for 100 posts, and there was one about B-queen outfit, yeah, tell me about trending, and I ain’t breathing.
Tryna shut my mouth and humiliate my work.
I got no money to even get that money, and the f* banks charge me for not having money.
Appreciate Stripe to not serve in my country, I preached everywhere feeding on passion, torturing in love and horrow, receiving loathe and shallow.
I got noticed by few but ignored to death.
Had no mentor to fix. Had no space to fear.
And the news never stopped b*tch about how unworthy my passion was.
‘What’s your strength?’ ‘…Read, think, write…’
And all I could do was write the reporter as a beggar in a story only I would read.
You said, ‘You should embrace critics.’
Did I just cry for snoring but not ignoring?
Em said he once thought rap was a pipedream til he met Dre.
I said I broke the blocks into pieces but only stumbled on them.
Not into tech, money, and f* the pretty title, ‘A pen contains unlimited power.’
I saw no power, but unlimited greed for power.
Spell back the love is evil, and it killed me, but I might not never earn something valuable to write my eulogy on it.
Flew to Europe to seek for stimulus, but lived with a bunch of addicts.
My mom is beautiful, but you sick f* said so was the p*ssy.
What if I read my first English book at the age of 30?
How could you tell me keep digging the grave for my love?
Oh, sh*t. There’s ain’t no one, and I did it again in the toilet alone.
Sorry for releasing the pressure of the pending rejection…, and mostly I have nowhere to be sad.
