I haven´t touched a pen since the 365 daily challenge

Hello, I finally got around half an hour of peace around here, I have not written or done anything in 3 months, so I went with stream of conscious when I wrote my first verse in 2013. so here it is, no title or anything:

Strangled,

Choking

Almost overdosin

Out of breath,

commotion

With the boredom i´m enrolled with

Poetry in motion is at standstill, force it

Waiting for another day that moves ,in orbit

Breathe  with the hill sides

The mill mold the minds,

or at times

Forcing mine to draw the lines

And call the strike to brawl with rhymes

And cause the rise of riots, over  nusery chrymes

Im both cursed

and blessed

From birth til death

But my poker face will scream check mate

When you question all the breaths I take

Or question all the moves I make

And question what i really make

I make minds grow beyond my own

I make potions and serve em from my own home

I make questions I can´t answer on my own

So you can debate em when I´m long gone

I make flowers blossom

With a carving at the bottom

I saved a thousand roses, they where starving when I got em

I have changed my ways to make them happy

So I can make my bed and starve the nutrition that i´m lacking

  29. Great piece MesAyah

  30. Great piece: tiny suggestion to keep the flow: take the words from line 6, “enrolled with” & swap with “rolling on,” Keeps the same idea, but plays with the motion & keeps the rhyme flow you’ve started. Keep writing I enjoyed reading this!

  31. Awesome poem it flowed very well and was a great 2013 first poem hope to read more by you soon I gave it 5 stars and it was worth every one the form was brilliant.

  33. I adore these lines:

    The mill mold the minds,
    or at times
    Forcing mine to draw the lines
    And call the strike to brawl with rhymes
    And cause the rise of riots, over nursery chrymes.

    Amazing.
