I don't feel fine in this place...
I feel confined to this space...
I don't feel fine in this place...

My thoughts in my mind's been displaced
I can't describe how it tastes
or all of the time that it takes
to get myself out of this race
I don't feel fine in this place...

She said that I'll be okay, but...
I listen to the words she don't say, cause...
that's where all her true feelings stay
I'm in an emotional state
But not cause it's been a bad day, nah...
keeping my balance to stay, calm...
One wrong step and you blast like a ******
All the commotion makes me wanna take off...

Would it be better to go or to stay?
I don't feel fine in this place...

Now It's Clear That Some Heads...  
Need To See That I GET IT... !!!  

That...
ARROGANCE And EGO...  
..... Can DISCREDIT.....  
  
Your Claims To Be IMPRESSIVE...  
In Art That You're... Representing...  
  
Now It Could Just Be...  
JEALOUSY Or ENVY... ?!?  
  
of The... Level of BELIEF... !!!  
That Might APPEAR To EXCEED...  
..... HUMILITY In Me.....  
  
But It’s Simply THAT...  
And That’s... A FACT... !!!  
  
Or Maybe It’s THIS...  
The Current SOFTENING...  
of How People Live...  
Well In FACT EXIST... !!!  
  
Due To VIRUSES...  
And... Contrivances...  
  
That Have Now...  
QUELLED REBELS...  
On... Various Levels... !!!  
  
People Are DISHEVELLED...  
And Just Like Killah Priest...  
Have HEAVY MENTALS... !!!  
  
But NOT LIKE Him...  
Or Guys Like... ME... !!!  
  
Who Is An... ARTIST...  
Who Has MORE Lyrics...  
Than MOST Lyricists...  
Who Are In The Business...  
of Making... HITS... !!!  
  
So TRUST When I Say...  
That... I DO GET IT... !!!  
  
BUT My Wordplays’ NOT GENERIC...  
Or Written For... COMPETITIONS... !!!  
  
What I Write Is SERIOUS STUFF... !!!  
I Know That Some Are Just Poking FUN... !!!  
  
But Some Clearly BELIEVE...  
That BIG VIRGE Doesn’t See...  
That He Needs HUMILITY... ?!?  
  
And Yes I’m Now Talking...  
In The... THIRD PERSON...  
Because... BIG VIRGE...  
Is Just Another Version... !!!  
  
of Who The Man VIRGIL...  
REALLY Is... TRULY... !!!  
  
A Man Who Deals...  
In... DEEP ARTISTRY... !!!  
  
So My... EXPRESSION  ...  
Is Just What STRENGTHENS...  
  
INSECURITIES...  
That Sometimes Reach...  
BIG PARTS of... My Psyche... !!!  
  
But As A Good Buddy...  
Said To Me... Recently...  
  
“Don’t listen to the haters Virge,  
because your use of verse,  
when it’s well observed,  
does show superiority,  
that’s above the artistry,  
that nowadays comes cheap,  
with egos that exceed,  
the place where they should be !”  
  
So You See...  
It’s A DIFFICULT Thing... !!!  
To BALANCE EGOS That Live...  
Inside... SERIOUS Artists... !!!  
  
So BEFORE You Think It’s COOL... !!!  
To Start Making CLAIMS...  
And To Hurl Abusive Views...  
  
About An EGO...  
That You ASSUME...  
Is A... MASSIVE Part...  
of The Big Virge DUDE... !!!  
  
DON’T Get It CONFUSED... !?!  
  
I’ve Said It BEFORE...  
And I’ll... Say It AGAIN... !!!  
  
My Style Is RAW...  
And DOESN’T Play...  
  
… I STAND ALONE... !!!  
  
And DON’T Write For The Folks...  
Who Take Life For A JOKE... !!!  
  
I’m A SERIOUS Bloke... !!!  
Whose Poetic Quotes...  
Are Those That Go...  
With The Type of Egos...  
  
Whose Art Is DOPE... !!!  
  
And This Has Been Expressed...  
By A NUMBER of Heads...  
On The WORLD WIDE WEB... !!!  
  
From DIFFERENT Continents... !!!  
  
And From Those Who Were There...  
And Were In MY PRESENCE...  
When I’ve Performed Poems...  
LIVE And... DIRECT... !!!  
  
So That’s Right I’ll DERIDE...  
Artistry That I Find...  
DOESN’T Exercise...  
My Body Or Mind... !!!  
In Ways That ELEVATE... !!!  
Or Make My Hips GYRATE... !!!  
  
And BELIEVE Me When I Say...  
That I KNOW My Art Holds WEIGHT... !!!  
  
And Is Just NOT Seen As... GREAT...  
Because My Ego DOESN'T DEFLATE... !!!  
  
Around Those Who BELIEVE...  
In The HYPE That They Receive...  
From The Media And TV... !!!  
  
And Because...
UNLIKE These Heads Who EXUDE...  
… The Type of EGOS...
That Could COVER Up THE MOON...  
  
I DO TRY To Keep Mine COOLED...  
  
But To Write In The Way...  
That... I NOW DO... !!!  
  
“ Of Course I’ve Got One Too ! “
It's a fine line that you have to keep a close eye on, however, critics and those who are quick to accuse people of being certain things, should maybe take some to THINK, before doing it ... !!!

There's a day that I saw you right in front of me,
Smile, laughing and crying.
However, it is just only a glimpse of my memories with you during our times together.

There's the day that I had heard your voice echoes in the house, car and the place we used to hang out together.
However, it is just only my feeling that still missing you.

There were times, I wonder how are you doing ?
Are you happy ?
Do you live well?
Do you still remember me? Missed me ?
Even though we not talking to each other anymore, I'm still missing you ***

The day I was informed, I was suppose to have an identical counter part.


"I am neither Matthew or Matt. That is a title belonging to a part of myself, consumed by the darkness.


A life of nothing, is there anyway to depart from this?

My own hatred brought me to suffocate on the light in my lungs.

The monsters inside, reminds me through vices to be strong.

Alcoholic nights. Mornings with Maryjane to ease the pain.


The weight of sadness and the madness hits me like a freight train.


The anger is the heaviest anchor, bringing my soul into the depths of torment to never breathe in freedom again.

Where did it all go?

What is left to show?

For I do not simply know.

My shadows been keeping company. In the darkness, I feel so lively.

During a full moon, transformation into my dark twin, activates sleeping forces dwelling inside of me.

There is no escape....

Ego
Too early

It was, is it not?
"No, you're wrong,"
I keep saying this to people;

Do I even stand correct?
Surely not.

I'm...
not yet.

Don't say it,
It doesn't feel so rewarding;
I'm not on a road
I am lost

Uncertain, and probably
delusional...
that's me

I'm standing still
it scares me that I can't move

Am I growing
or was I not?

Maybe, I thought I was.

What's with the words I speak?
I desperately think yet,
it cannot be written in ink

words are at the brink
of emptiness
so deep

What is wrong with me?

"The Swindle", is a possible escape plan in order to divert attention completely away from the VAST majority of preying eyes!
"Why!?" And..."why now question it...?" Whatever the situation, you need to be wary of totally undivided attention...,since you are not alone...of an obvious disguise (upon an even more obvious "swindling" act).
"The Swindle", is a countermeasure towards shameful results (for oneself). That is...if your simply caught in the act...

Puff and bloom
Once more consume
Oh, it was fiction
In the display of dicktion
Up and down
But always a frown
Drips or flips
In a handy eclipse
Seeing inside
The way of the tide
Tired of tries
Was it just lies?
Norman Crane May 2021
at dawn our suns shine
sideways—not above or below
anyone; time flows,
ego rises
