Write a poem about your body
My body is a temple that I often don’t want to be in
The look and make of the model may be pleasant to some but not me
Reasons why I use to want to leave
But I rather do some repairs
And continue to climb the stairs
To Success
We are not all blessed
With a great body that cover our flesh
But it’s up to us
To change the image that we don’t like instead of putting up a fuss
That’s what I think of my body
Other Version:
My body is like a Chevy Tahoe
Big and wide
It still is a good ride
The inside is nice
Great leather seats inside
The engine is loud and impactful
Once you hear it you will be amazed
But why am I so fazed
I just never looked at the body as great
I guess because the dents
Always made me repent
Fixing it up would bring me joy that I always dreamt
But that thought is nothing but a dream that mechanics been told me would happen
But it just hasn’t happened
So I settle for this truck
Because for the time being I’m stuck
Reason why I barely take it out
Because this truck is something I’m not comfortable with
Disclaimer: I don’t hate myself by the way. I could see how you can get that vibe from this. But I wrote 2 versions just because I had two different comparisons for this prompt. Hope you enjoyed. By the way this prompt came from https://www.journalbuddies.com/journal_prompts__journal_topics/60-daily-creative-writing-prompts/
My top 5 favorite rappers
Would have to be dapper
Not much of a trapper
But no slacker
My top 5 will have to have swagger
And their lyrics will have to be like a dagger
They change so much how can I really pick 5
I will pick 5 dead or alive
I will try to analyze exactly why
I will have to go with the legend biggie
His flow is very tricky
His lyrics could never be shitty
I think my favorite lyric was when he did ten crack commandments
It was so much of an advancement
It was like he was telling you the rules of the game
The rules of the game in his rap it was so much to gain
This line left a stain in my mind
He said money and blood don’t mix like two dicks and no bitch
That bar left my mind in a serious ditch
I’m use to listening to people rap about getting rich
But he was different it was a laid back cool flow
You know just like snoop dogg
But his had a little bit of a edge on it
That’s why he was so hot
My second favorite would have to be the metaphor king
Lil wayne metaphors will leave you amazed
His style is so wild
The metaphors be crazy but make sense
I can’t even pick one cause its so many
J. Cole is next up for a Grammy
And next up on my top five
His songs aren’t full of lies
He actually talk about real life
He is a lyricist
And one of the biggest
Ace hood would be my next favorite
His songs just got a certain hood edge
Like he is full of rage
Like someone locked him in a cage
When he rap its like he on a rampage
It keeps me engaged
Then there’s my last favorite
It would have to be slim shady
Eminem skills is crazy
It can’t be traced
When he touch the mic the whole building stop in its tracks
He has crazy impact
His song not afraid is my favorite song of all time
The story it tells of being brave
Eminem is one of the only rappers I know that could spit for 6 minutes
Rap god was crazy after a long break
I could listen to him all day
All day everyday
That’s my top 5 favorite rappers

This week I had a little bit of a breakdown and of course, I wrote a poem. It’s therapeutic when I’m down. Here’s what I wrote. I also made a video reciting this, Link Here https://youtu.be/k52je4nWdac
Breakdown:
I can’t control when this depression comes
But I can tell you how it make me feel
It be having me want to grab a gun and kill the man in the mirror
I feel so fucked up to the point I got my momma looking at me in terror
I wish I could say I can beat the voices inside of my head
But every time we come face to face I get put to bed
As the tears roll down my face
I just need space
Is the only thing I say
It’s easy for you to look in and say i need this and that but you don’t feel this pain
You don’t know my demons
I wish I had a better reason
For why I no I can’t say that
I’m just trying to escape
After eight years it just feels like I’m running in one big circle
I just wanna say pops why wasn’t my dreams enough
I didn’t ask God to be this big
I just feel so sick
No I just feel like shit
Because I wasn’t enough of a son to live up to your dreams
A big waste of space is the shit I heard daily
I feel like a failure
The past got me in a chokehold
I wish I could say I won’t fold
But I don’t know any more
