The Poetry, Raps, and Stories of Myke Y.U.N.G.

Golden Voice the second poem off Dedication B4 Graduation is out and there are plenty more that’s coming soon.

Source of power that can’t be neglected

Unless you let it be rejected

And let it be the cause of humiliation

But even then it can be a cry of retaliation

That is so strong that it makes any idea of disgrace

A distant memory that is lost in space

Yet I have never seen  you use out of place

And instead seen it used to make thoughts into something that is durable

That can move the minds of others with the potential being innumerable

But what makes it so unique from the others, is not the sound or condition

But the way you use it with control instead of using it wildly for attention

Don’t let people extinguish this ability since it has become a common outbreak

For people to let hate, anger, rage, or other negative thoughts make it shake

And stay in a weakened state until

Either inspiration or depression determines its fate

Just let it shine for the rest of your life and let it reflect you no matter what state

Or experience you have been through since it’s a  terrible thing to waste

Your voice no matter if it’s as loud as a diva or as small as  someone with a timid taste

Hey everybody No Facade, my first poem from Dedication B4 Graduation is out on my Tumblr page. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Tranquil like an angel, but not 100%

Because we  all have that boiling point

Where even sweet, kind patience

Can’t withstand the rapid fire combo

Of soul-shattering despair

And mind-decaying, corruptible hate

With a corrosive aftertaste

Yet I haven’t seen you in that terrible state

But even if I did, I wouldn’t consider you a lost cause

Since everyone was born with indefinite flaws

That should be embraced instead of being quarantined

Like an abomination with lethal, metal paws

But I don’t take your calmness for laziness

Because everything I have seen you do

Is a blend of effort and passion

That is hard to concoct and even harder to maintain

Especially where there is no money to gain

Yet your steel is not stainless

And I know every time we meet

You’re not always at your

Ready for anything, carpe diem, spitfire blazing peak

But your attitude brings more cheer

Than beer and wings when game day appears

And the words you write only gives a clear image

Of the persona you display

But my words are not meant to flatter or exaggerate

I’m just speaking what I see from you

I’m not aiming for a love song or Shakespearian sonnet

But rather a true story from a poet’s point of view

Hey everybody I’m working on my first poetry collection called Dedication before Graduation, which basically talks about the experiences I’ve had and the people I met in college. The first poem  from the collection is coming soon, so keep an eye for it on your dashboard.

They say opportunity comes once in a lifetime

 But does it come before or after my prime

I’m at that point in my life where I need to find a way to thrive

Yet I have little reason to survive

Rejection after rejection with no success in sight

And my only luxury being a flame’s flickering light

Yet I have a source of motivation

That grants the power of levitation

Over the tendrils of broken hearted depression

And persuaded me to follow my dream with obsession

And to keep going despite the obstacles in my possession

 However time goes on with the same effect

And I only obtained stability temporarily

Before I once again become a reject

In the land of the free,

Where everything comes with a fee

Except the air that I breathe

And the light that I see

But now I’m at my limit, physically and mentally

The power that I had is fading

And it seems that  me and  failure are  dating

With little chance of my status upgrading

Yet it all comes down to one thing

Is opportunity right around the corner

Or was it never meant for me?

You were a sweetheart with a hint of lime

Birthday and Valentine Day at the same time

You must get double love

Whether it’s gifts, chocolate, or flowers

Or all the above

I wrote you a rap before

Talking about back in the day

And walking on the right side

Of the hallway

Being the only worry

And doing things calmly

With no hurry

But that got lost in the edge

Of my room’s black hole

Yet the thought hadn’t been forgotten as a whole

I know it’s been years since I last saw you

And I know you’ve been catching friends like a winter flu

Not trying to sound dramatic like a play in middle school

Where the ship sunk, but our talent rose

To what heights, nobody knows

But I remember you much more than the performance of a day

Like the conversations we had and the words you say

Whether it was you singing that James Blunt song

Or us talking about the music of Ricky Rozay

 But enough of the past

And how long the days will last

I just want you to know

Despite being a face I rarely see

You will always be in my memory
