Before I Self-destruct (hold Me Down) by JigsawKillah(m): 5:25pm On Dec 30, 2016 |
I'm here, you're there You know I want to chat I fear you'd lend no ear So I lay here on my back Love is cursed, of course No wonder I feel blessed But being alone, is worse I need eased off this stress So before, I Self Destruct I need you to hold me down Before I self destruct I need you to hold me down Sitting, cold, in the dark You came and held my hands Your kisses gave me spark Baby, do you want to dance? I understand my emotions yell But you understand me well For you, everything I can sell Can't lose you, my life is already hell So before, I Self Destruct I need you to hold me down Before I self destruct I need you to hold me down Emptiness engulfs my soul My past is uglier than my whole Right before I lose control I'll smash my brains with a pole Give me strength to pull this through If I don't, I know not what else to do Right before I end this dude A kiss, and I'll feel good So before, I Self Destruct I need you to hold me down Before I self destruct I need you to hold me down I can't leave my son alone This world is a cruel place I'd be insane to let my bone So young running this race But I have to go my way But I can't say my goodbyes So once again, I'll stay Just to look at those bulgy eyes But before I self destruct I need you to hold me down Before I self destruct I need you to hold me down No, until I self destruct I need you to hold me down My life, I'd reconstruct But you have to hold me down © Jigsawkillah 9 Likes 5 Shares |

All you all shouting nice, lovely and whatever up there, if you're ask to identify the rhyme scheme used in the poem, or even list 5 poetic device in the poem, you'd ignore the mention the way a broke man ignores a beggar on the street. So please, keep your condescending asslicking and annoying patronising habit away from this section. This ain't the romance section where ignorance run amok, you know. |

AfroSamurai: instead of attacking them, why not just tell us what the poem is lacking or if its cool? since when has it become wrong to praise something that looks nice to you? 2 Likes |

JigsawKillah:It's always nice to praise anything that looks nice if you truly understand and know how nice that thing is. |

SalomonKane: people praise things depending on how they understand it. what if they're praising it for the message as they understood it? that afro guy should know this is the poem section. such squabbles will not be tolerated here. |

JigsawKillah:Chill out, Jigs. I'm sure you don't know afro and Salomon have one thing in common? They're affiliated to 1832. Happy New Year, brah. 1 Like |
