You don't know me

A Rap So Rap it

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

you don't know how much it hurts

dragging my cut filled body out through the dirt

out through the grave

"YOU DON'T KNOW ME"

you can hear my words

but can you feel my curse ?

in every line and verse ?

"YOU DON'T KNOW ME"

but everybody seems to think they do

just like you

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

but we all seem to think we do

my words are like vipers spitting venom

a virus method

corrupt left untouched

most vultures would die trying to cough it up 

let it spew out

melt the foundation of the know

because this is not all i have to show

your just seeing the surface of my corpse

one line in my virus code

the method i use to be known

these lyrics aren't skin deep

the inner workings of a toxic sage

every line 

every page

soaked deeply with my infinite rage

and sadness unending and fears that just won't go away

a passion for life that never stays

SO YOU DON'T KNOW ME

the reason why it hurts

the reason why i drag myself through this dirt

why i let myself get infinitely hurt

speak your truth let it be known through all words i have shone

let the virus slither, borough

release all your pain and worries onto me

because their all my scar filled eyes can see

and i am here for you 

because you are here for me

another attempt to brave the sea 

faltered by the sound of my own heartbeat

this toxic blood pumping through my veins

making me catatonic

another journey cut short

another line to write in my virus code

what is left to be shown

another layer of skin buried deep in the dirt

burned scorched unrecognizable 

from the sand and ashes dripping in my hour glass

no class 

just shattered glass 

cutting 

and infecting those who pick up the pieces

SO YOU Don't Know Me

what is behind every line and verse

and this balloon called my sanity waiting burst under the weight of my curse

it's the end of this verse

SOMEBODY BRING THE HEARSE !!

This is so wonderful and relatable, it's crazy. None of us really know each other because we would have to live in each other's shoes to understand. Plus, the mind can be a great enemy... People don't understand what goes on in it. What's important is knowing ourselves and being true to ourselves. This poem has a beautiful message, which I admire. Thank you for sharing this!

[Nemophilist Meraki]

WOW. It's been a really long while and I come back to yet again be mind-blow. That was fantastic. As someone mentioned before, the poem has an incredible beat that seemed to me to feel like the beat of the heart of the narrator. It started off calm, and then slowly got faster and faster and faster... until it slowed and then stopped.
As always, you manage to capture emotions and weave them into the words you write. This poem especially hits home to me, as I know I've thought "You don't know me" many many times in my life to a large variety of people.

It is likely I projected this onto your work from my own experiences but the poem seemed to be filled with a hurt kind of angry.

As usual though, I'd like to ask what inspired the poem and what you meant it to mean. :)

Thank you so much for sharing! You have an incredible amount of talent.

[Owen Aldin]

You should put this over a beat. The flow would be good. Try this one https://soundcloud.com/officialtdot/traphouse

thank you for the suggestion they sound really great but i would love to compose it as it rest in my head without relying too much on others but i am really thankful that you liked it enough to suggest that right now i am trying to find my own voice in my words on my unending journey of the dots page and expressions ones of happiness and rage.

[Owen Aldin]

Not a problem. Would love to here the spoken version if it ever happens. It would sound amazing I'm sure. Looking forward to reading more.

This is a genuine, thought-provoking piece. Very well expressed. And very true. No one really knows You. But, in my humble opinion born of my own experiences, when you stop seeking others acceptance and find your own...when you can accept yourself for who you are, no matter who that is, that's when s**t starts coming together. Don't give up, writing is an excellent tool, keep using it. Make it your b***h.

[TheAimlessWanderer]

i agree wholeheartedly with that statement but it is hard sometimes to not care what others think when you yourself don't understand what you think what you want what you feel only in small glimpses can i see this and even then it is confusing i am so glad you enjoyed this i was breaking down writing this one so thank you for finding meaning it but i wrote this one for me so i could let some of my swirling thoughts go free so i thank you for the encouragement and i thank you for reading my vent.

[Enigma Monster]

I know it's hard and confusing and it doesn't really matter if I enjoyed it or not (but I did).

[TheAimlessWanderer]

thanks for the laugh i don't know why i found that so funny but it brought a smile to my face (:

[Wølfy]

I was going to use a normal one but then I saw that and said "F**k it, I am using that!"

[TheAimlessWanderer]

wtf is wrong with you so insensitive i am crying and laughing at the same time i love it

[Wølfy]

Hey, no one else was going to bring the hearse. So, I bought the hearse. That is a true friend. :D

[Ted Kniffen]

Sorry, Chris, I'm not into rap, so not sure how to pick up the rhythm. I'll keep trying though. The message comes through loud and clear. All the anger, angst and uncertainty of youth is here, that feeling that you're alone and no one understands what you're going through. Very good. It is well written and says what you're feeling. Keep writing, my friend.

[TheAimlessWanderer]

thank you ted i appreciate the fact that you are willing to try even if it is something don't particularly like thank you for reading it is not something i can summarize as a feeling like that but probably because i particularly feel trapped i can only express it through rap when i let all go and just let the words flow.

[Ted Kniffen]

That's what writers do, Chris, and we are fortunate to be able to put down what we feel and keep the demons at bay, at least for a little while.

"YOU DON'T KNOW ME"
you can hear my words
but can you feel my curse ?
in every line and verse ?
The pain and hurt in this poem seems beyond reachable.. This is a strong piece indeed! Nicely penned!

[TheAimlessWanderer]

i was breaking down as i wrote this so it is hard to step back and comment but i appreciate at the fact that you liked my rap.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I can understand it only too well.. May God give you the strength to pull out of the situation you are in...

[TheAimlessWanderer]

thank you for your prayers i appreciate it

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You are welcome ☺
