2nd Freestyle updated

(This is the start of another battle. Last night I was chatting with another person that I met on a different poetry site. He said that he liked to freestyle and he wanted to battle me. So I left him the following bars to respond to. I didn't have much to go on since his profile was set to private. Please let me know what you think of it. Also if anyone wants to battle I'm game. Just shoot me a message. Without further ado here's my "First round".)

Adam Smith well here's my first issue, I don't really know enough about you to diss you. I can't see your profile, no idea of your rap style. No idea if you're grown or if you're just a child. No matter though cause I get buck wild, as you'll soon witness. Tear your face off like the logo for the Misfits. Leaving mass carnage up in this b**ch, and I just flipped my mind switch, from a gentleman to the GOAT. Step up or step off cause my words got you by the scrot....

(UPDATE! Adam Smith never responded. So I decided to battle myself)

Now listen here old man, your verse went to the trash can. This is a young man's game, your style is ass Fam. It's my prize to take, your whole style's fake. You're battling yourself and losing for f**k's sake! Every day I wake and bake. Is it nerves or do you always shake? This was a bad idea, you should take a break!

Last Night's Freestyle Battle In Full

My 1st round:

I know we just met and you seem like you're cool but there's a whole bunch of s**t that I don't know about you. Now I don't care about your race, what kind of car you drive, or how much you make.

I don't need to know if you're gay or straight, skinny stick thin, or extremely overweight. Gender is irrelevant, as is religious preference. You might say that's insane, but the madness IS my method.

You see when my brain is lucid I can come up with new s**t have you st-st-stuttering and dropping excuses... Oh man you're clueless, but if you're ready to do this just know that you're in trouble and to quote Michael Buffer "Let's get ready to rumble!"

Tcatza's 1st round:

you say u know nothin bout me.. I'm ghost like the holy trinity.. I'm one in three multi personality vomiting u sick like a disease.. im scribbing ur mind like graffiti. u can't see me. u say it's all irrelevant but ima jam it down ur throat like n elephant.. u can't claim insane when ima the one with 3 brains I'll stuff ur head under a train. I'm runnin this mad game u take the blame i steal the fame leanin on my gaudge like a cane walkin away with all ur pay..on ur broke knees can't even pray.. I took ur voice away.

My 2nd round:

If I ever prayed I'd burst into flames. I'm not exactly insane I just bring the pain. I bring it how I live it the violence so exquisite if you knew what's good for you you'd leave this very minute

You claim ghost like Holy Trinity that doesn't mean a thing to me because I cut the veil and walk in both planes equally you say that you took my voice and by your last verse you think that you're beating me But I'm just kicking back conserving some energy. Here's a bit of advice I'll translate what I said Tempis Fugit Momento Mori. It means time flies remember death... Hear me knocking yet scythe in hand. I'm here to finish what I started it's all part of my plan.

Tcatza's 2nd round:

don't worry u are my prey ill tip the glass flick the match watch u flame. don't trip I will leave this very minute as u burn with the evidence. no point in beatin u.. ur dead.. mouth full of charcoal matchin ur head.. you're right time did fly watchin u die. I pryed the scythe from ur barbecued hand. scrappin ur joke of a plan as i still stand.. crown me king as spread ur ash over my land.

My final round:

From the ashes I rise you can call me a Phoenix I'm going to tell you something and I really do mean this. I'll say it slow so it sinks in your head: You cannot kill what is already dead.

My bars leave corpses and I leave bloody and remorseless just imagine the damage if we actually joined forces. The world isn't ready for that yet I'll bet.

I'm like the monster hiding in your closet, don't investigate the case cause punk you'll never solve it at night I'm gunning for your throat damn my mind's distorted... Now you know the reason why they called me Morbid

Tcatza's final round:

like ya said can't kill the dead so we both can gun eachothers throats over and over never closer we both climb spittin dope rhymes so of course we should join forces the world still breathin we need it bleedin.. like the 4 horseman no mercy we're heathens.

(Each of us think that the other one is the winner... I leave it up to all of you to decide in the comments please vote for the winner by simply commenting with either Tcatza's name or my own plus feel free to give any comments or opinions about the battle as well. Thank you!)

Confusion

Keeping all that's real
Fleeing from the past
Things will never be the same
This time is the last
All over but the shouting
The calmness quite alarming
I see the clouds rolling in
The sunny sky is darkening
Awaken to my future
From a lifetime of regret
I think the worst is over
But it hasn't happened yet

Life In Rewind

By Chad Carlson

Today I looked at my life in rewind
Found the good in mostly bad times
Smiled a lot and even laughed a little
Until I got to the part in the middle
So much pain in the decade of my 20's
Left me a shell of myself lost and lonely
Lost my job, my son, my family and house
My car, my mind too for certain no doubt
I turned to drink I turned to drugs
Those things never left me only left me with a buzz
There are literally months that I can't recall
Until the day my friends dragged me out of my car
I had it in my garage with all the doors closed
duct taped to the tailpipe was a green garden hose
The other end was taped into the driver side window
Spewing in the toxic fumes for me to breathe in slow
I became dizzy and drifted off to sleep
It was calm it was tranquil I thought I would finally have some peace
But before I was actually deceased
My friends came and intervened
They were concerned about my well being
And the fact that it had been weeks since I was last seen
They heard the engine in my closed up garage
They kicked in the side door and pulled me from my car
I won't say their names but they know who they are
There's no way that I should be alive
How did they know to come looking on that fateful almost fatal night
Thanks to the 3 of you I owe you my life

*This event happened 3 days before I had to move out of my house. I lost my car 2 days after that*

I started going to nightly NA/AA meetings
Soon I was running them because I believed in their meaning
Now I only use medical cannabis because of my severe pain
I rarely drink anymore because I've learned to refrain
I wish that I never touched the hard drugs
They definitely left their mark
None of it was good
I should've known that from the start

For Sara: My Wife

For all my feelings
My opinion has no meaning
I try to express emotion
Why do I bother speaking
I tell her that I love her
I truly believe that she's beautiful
She sheds tears as she says "Thank you
But your words are just dutiful"
She can't see what I do about her
Her walls are just built too high
Her defences are set too deep
All I can do is try
And that is what I will do
Even if it takes the rest of my life
She will know my words are true
As is my love til the end of time

When Will There be a Next Time

Sitting in the sun
Thinking of old times past
Alone in isolation
Will these memories be the last
Writing these few lines
Hoping to strike a nerve
Maybe to rekindle
The flame that once burned
The memories once so vivid
Are slowly starting to fade
As Time goes by with no reply
I start to feel betrayed
I feel like you're not listening
Like you never really cared
Was your entire plan for us
To cause misery and despair
The test of time has proven
What I should've known from the start
Although you had ALL my love
I never really had your heart

I Have Seen the End

*The title was just in my head so I had to make something with it... I'm not sure how good it is, so feel free to tear it apart if you choose*

I've seen the end
But it isn't what you think
Time and space will bend
LIke you've had too much to drink
Your physical body leaves you
It's something you no longer need
Nobody can see you you're see through
Nothing to break down or bleed
I have seen the end
It's not all fun and games
The amount of energy it takes to just stand
Will leave you drained for days
I have seen the end
And I ignore all of your pleas
There's no way you can win
Just know your end begins with me

I Never Complained

It's OK if you want to leave
I wouldn't trust me
I've always got something up my sleeve
My movements are shifty
Blink once and you missed me
How can you fight what you can't see
Put here for a purpose
I make people nervous
By exposing your lies and your deceit
Humankind is in season
Most treacherous treason
I'm in this cage for a reason

Every day is the same
In this cage that remains
Though it hurts like hell
It's much better this way
Cause the pain that I feel
Keeps the "free" people sane
Just know that I never complained
When you locked me away

You paint a picture that's perfect
A web of lies but you work it
I'll give you credit where it is due
But you're treading on thin ice
This false front that you call your life
One wrong step and you'll be through
I wish I could see it
That moment you eat s**t
And you lose all your dreams
I know it won't be long
And all you have will be gone
I've reserved your cage right next to me

Every day is the same
In this cage that remains
Though it hurts like hell
It's much better this way
Cause the pain that I feel
Keeps the "free" people sane
Just know that I never complained
When you locked me away

(This is a song that I wrote my old band Crimes Against Humanity in 1997.

SITH

Some say that I have fallen
But I didn't have that far to fall
All I see is blood and brain matter on my wall
I check to see if it's mine
But my head remains intact
On my hands I see the blood
From the carnage of my act
In the room the scene is madness
Bodies packed from wall to wall
All with evicerated chest cavities
And shattered broken skulls
No fear inside my mind
No regret for all my sins
No remorse for all my actions
Now it's time to begin again
Walking out my front door
I know it's only a matter of time
Before the heat will make the bodies stink
And bring attention to my crimes
I already smell the sickening stench of rot
That sweet smell of decay
So I decided to do some cleanup
Before going on my way
Reopening the door was a shock to me
My house is completely clean
No trace of blood or bodies
To bring attention to the scene
I then started to laugh
I know one body still remains
In the bathroom on the floor
Laying in a dried bloodstain
I look to see for sure
And it's right there at my feet
It's mine you understand
It's something I no longer need
Freed from mortal binds
Freed from mortal pain
Freed from mortal sadness
Freed from mortal drain
Lost inside an evil sickness
To live inside the darkness
And choose another victim.

Do Not Disturb

I hear you calling my name
But it's strange
Cause I don't want to hear it
Not because it's you
Something in your tone
I fear it
Trying to pull me away
From this world where I reign
SUPREME
Might be just a dream
But when I leave I wanna scream
The brutality of reality
Just kills me
Corruption death and pain
But everyone just fails to see
That if you take my dream from me
I'll slip into insanity
Might sound a little strange
But it is my identity
