I Forgot How To Rhyme

I've forgot how to rhyme right
Lack of inspiration keeping me up for five nights 
Writing rhymes to keep my mind tight 
I'd rather be truthful than a coward who hides behind lies
An average poet, but you might find
a few lines that are designed nice
I need my heart to break in order to write when my mind dies 
Yesterday I was sitting around missing her, now I'm over her, time flies
Being a poet is like being an addict because after every poem, I say I should just do one more line, guys
That line should be in an episode of Lil Wayne rhymes like
Making fun of celebrities for no reason, I'm shameless
I need a hot girlfriend so We can get rich the same way Kim Kardashian got famous
I'm just having a little fun, please don't take it too serious 
But people get offended by everything these days in my experience 
No disrespect to the Kardashians but I don't wish to keep up with their nonsense 
I was a fan of a rapper until he said he's flyer than an Ostrich 
Everyone is "Flyer" than something that doesn't fly
Or maybe I'm not smart enough to understand a rhyme so complex
There needs to be a "Worst rap line of all time" contest
Got told I'd be dead by 21, but I made it to the future and I'm not talking about the mask off guy
That line was predictable but don't mind it 
I'm writing in Big Pun's rhyme book with Eminem's pen so there isn't a word I can't rhyme with 
You may not agree with the form that I write
But writing was all I had when i was standing alone in the storm of the night
the white Mike Tyson, I was born for the fight
Maybe I should have a little more decency 
They'll say I only dissed the Kardashians because they won't sleep with me 
I went to write something nice but my pens crazy
Bipolar and inspired by Slim Shady
I've got a beer belly, but I don't think Dwayne Johnson has been to the gym lately
I don't know why I said that, this is the worst poem I ever wrote 
But I just managed to write a poem without talking about depression, well almost 
I'm inside of Jason Voorhees Hockey mask and out of my mind
But now my writers block has gone and I've remembered how to rhyme
