Daily battle
#4
Hi, Deadgone, welcome to the pen. This seems like a spoken word poem to me, I may be wrong. Although poems are meant to be both spoken and read, reading spoken word can be difficult because we can't hear the Narrators voice, we have to put our own pauses and stresses in. You've got many strong breaks and something to say, I'll give it a go:

(02-28-2026, 05:31 PM)Deadgone Wrote:  Working for that money thats a daily battle  Clear opening. "that's", go through and add your apostrophes.
Between the part that wants to be free and the part thats being caged like cattle You might lose both "the part that's".
Strangers even though we are This line reads a bit awkward and "are" is a weak break.
Could my music maybe light your candle I'm on the fence here, may be too close to the cliche "light my fire".
Suicide how some choose to exit
While we ignore reasons
They cant handle These three lines are strong, serious business you're talking about.
Living in a heartless city
No hand shakes but both used I'd prefer no hands/both hands with "used" dropped to the line below.
To try to strangle 
Your mind state on a thin rope "thin rope" is strong, can be interpreted more than one way.
Barely breathing daily gamble
My foot prints left the sand
Airmax covered comfy sandle Here I'm getting the discomfort of modern life, good.
Man am really trying Bbloom in a system that looks like orlando From your comment I think it may be more effective to capitalize Orlando also. But is he the ultimate white man? I didn't get this. Is the double B in Bbloom intentional? 
Stuck between rap and brothers trapping from the bando Love this line, strong cadence, I had to look up trapping from the bando, I like it.
Trying tell em its a wrap if at any moment you cant handle This line is wordy, I'm sure you could pare it down  a bit.
Its like looking at the same picture knowing
We all looking from a different angel Angel or angle?
How many news papers are there but
Am never reading
That the system is a effing scandal an effing
So, I think you have what could be a strong piece on paper. You might consider adding punctuation to help the reader put the sentences together more easily as we don't have the benefit of a reader's pauses, though your line breaks on the whole do a good job. Thanks for an interesting read, glad you posted.

Also, members may be more inclined to read and comment if you remove your poll. It's not a thumbs up, thumbs down site. You'll note no other poem has one, it's not considered appropriate in a workshop where both the poet and critic are expected to do more. Just a heads up, I hope you continue posting.
