Poem Commentary

This was a rap that I wrote that I strenuously edited to fit into a pseudo-poem.  It was originally titled "Race against Love".  I have been experimenting witht this rap-poetry hybrid style since around 2004.  This is the first one I have written in about two years, so I'm a little rusty.  They will get better, I promise.

Circular Maze

I was fine when I met her
Being alone never felt any better
Living without love was more of a gift than a curse
Didn't need the pressure; couldn't stand the hurt
Didn't have the patience to deal with situations
That often arise when it's real in the relations
Started from a physical nature
I started to date her, now I'm really starting to hate her
But still I really love her, so much I'm conflicted
Do I stay or run away, it's perplexing and it's twisted
I wouldn't wish this revisited on my enemies
I wasn't even looking for love; look what it did to me.
I'm lost in a circular maze
I could circle for days
And even try and quicken the pace
And still wind up in the very same place
That I started from when I started this race.
I'm a two time loser, love T.K.O.
I've got the bumps and the bruises if you need me to show
Hold on to myself, trust nobody else
Listen to my better judgement and play them how they're dealt
And that was my plan but it couldn't get a start
Because that love arrow shot me right in the heart
And now we've developed a relationship
I'm getting fed up with being enveloped in it quick.
I'm lost in a circular maze
I could circle for days
And even try and quicken the pace
And still wind up in the very same place
That I started from when I started this race.
