Crackertl82• Show poetry

I'm the definition of an under-achiever. My IQ is a shade under Isaac Newton, and I'm making just over minimum wage.

I've had my shots, but I missed em. I've been imprisoned by an emotional/mental disease for about 4 years now, and I'm just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I won APTP a couple years ago, and I was at the top of my game, but have since fallen off. No matter how hard I try, I just can't find the words anymore. I've stopped recording, and I've stopped writing.

However, you mother fucker's need not worry. I was one of the best when I came here, and I don't plan on giving up on this shit just yet.

I have a little boy that keeps me going. He's it, everything, the only one that gets me through the day. I used to think I was the man, living the fast life, not knowing where life was going to take me from one day to the next. Now I am the man, the man that will always be there for my little boy.

I deleted my shout-outs, and replaced it with this depressing monolauge of self pity, but fuck it, I'll still rip up anyone who wants to step to me lyrically. Peace, TL....

(My profile page a few years ago.... What a punk....)

I am a 22 year old, good looking, extremely intelligent, ridiculously funny, ambitious, caring guy who can't seem to find the little hottie of my dreams. If you too are all of the above like myself, but you have a pussy, leave me a message (wink, wink) If you are overtaken by a swarm of intense emotion soon after reading my soon to be famous poetry/song lyrics, I would definitely recommend that you write me and tell me a little bit about yourself, and if you have a pic, so do I.


Now that i'm done shamelessly promoting myself, it's time to learn a little bit about me.


First of all, i'm going to be famous. i'm a talented drummer, and an incredible songwriter, if you don't agree, please let me know...


Remember that i rarely write poetry, almost everything you read will be song lyrics, and sometimes the lyrics may lack the content to impress the average reader, so remember this, if you don't like the lyrics all that much, it's probably because the music behind it is so good, that it didn't really matter what i wrote down, because no one would care anyways...


If you have any personal questions about me, feel free to IM me, or email me at the email me at fournorthproductions@yahoo.com

Everybody please come and read everything that i have to offer. If you comment on one, please comment on all, i'll do my best to return the favor. Please always be honest, all i want is to become a better writer. Please don't be jealous of my talents, it's a god given talent, i know i'm great, you don't have to keep reminding me. One day i'll be a famous superstar, and i'll come back, scoop all of you up, and help you all to realize your dreams. (Everything I just said is nothing more than me trying to get your attention, so maybe you'll help me out, and critique some of my lyrics, although alot of truth was said in jest...) I'm not cocky, i'm just confident, I hope you all enjoy everything i have to offer, thank you, and goodbye...Tom aka Crackertl82
