Neva Kiss tha unkissable
neva break tha unbreakable
neva try to hit it
neva try to kiss it
u will only get pain
sometimes u wish somethin like love will walk through ur door
sorry it won't happen once more
lies after lies
hate after hate
bitches after bitches
will try to break u but
neva take u down
some try to get wat u have but they won't
becasue they don't know about wat u have
to get on ur level
sick and tired
of tha same bullshit
sick and tired of tha same games u play
now i am goin to walk out and kiss what is kissable
and touch tha untouchable
becasue now i can
Breathe

Hey. Could you for once talk about the work and not about yourselves?

Ok since it's your first post I'll be nice Razz

First a piece of advice: if you can avoid it don't write in this teenage rapper style with all the "neva"s and "u"s... it just irritates anybody who doesn't write like that and will reduce the number of people reading your work

Secondly before I start none of this is personal criticism. It is my honest opinion of what you have written and you can take it or leave it but it is all impartial advice designed to help you improve your writing. Welcome to A2K

Okay now for my analysis:

Never kiss the unkissable
Never break the unbreakable


Good start - i like it - it flows

Never try to hit it
never try to kiss it


Repetitive but that tends to work in rap - I'm assuming this is rap: sorry if it's not but it doesn't feel like prose

You will only get pain

I understand the sentiment but it's bland

Sometimes you wish somethin' like love will walk through your door

After the punch that the first two lines packed this doesn't hold the attention as well... but okay we can hang in there

Sorry it won't happen once more

The inequality in line length screws with your rhyme scheme so you may need another line in there or alternatively shorten the first one. I'd do that as, like i said, I think you're losing emphasis with such a long line

lies after lies
hate after hate
bitches after bitches
will try to break u but
never take you down


This is what I meant. Your first two lines have this kind of run on getting-faster-and-louder quality that you've recaptured here. THIS is your strength so play to it.

some try to get what you have but they won't
cos they don't know about what u have


Weak. You're repeating yourself in a drawn out way and it doesn't even make sense

sick and tired
of the same bullshit
sick and tired of the same games you play


*shrugs* I'd steer away from this sort of thing. I know that you ARE 15.. but it sounds very 15-year-old-rapper-trying-to-sound-hard. Too many people use a variation of this exact phrase for it to have any real meaning. Say what you mean, not what's obvious


Now i am goin to walk out and kiss what is kissable
and touch the untouchable


Did you mean to do this? Kissable and UNtouchable? I could be wrong but I doubt it. I like it though.

Solid ending
