Default Within The Depths Of Me

I find myself lost in thought or it seems to be
Like a windswept leaf, I’m drifting on a memory.
Or I may be drowning because I can’t breathe.
Surrounded by darkness, it seems I can’t see.

Maybe I’m sinking, falling victim to the depths of me soul.
Or maybe diving, searching for something repressed in my soul.
Now I can see. My insight shines bright.
Now I can breathe. My will to fight my air supply.

Deep within myself I’m confronted by another me.
Deep within myself is He, the Demon who invades my sleep.
The Demon who plagues my sleep. Deep within myself is He.
A demon who’s identical – a demon who resembles ME

imma be anal, just in a good way. but yeah, positives:
flowed well, word choice was ok.
Negatives:
i dont see the connection between a "windswept" leaf being like you lost in thought. also the transition from thought to thought on ur 2nd bar was sudden, went from 2 sensory images, and didnt elaborate.

Positives:i like the jump from sinking to diving. great change in thought.
Negatives: flow was off for me. flow was off for me. a word choice mistake in your 1st bar. the repetitive "soul" threw it off.


Deep within myself I’m confronted by another me.

Positives: dope 1st bar.
Negatives: uuum, last bar was like.... "a demon whos identical" = "a demon who resembles me" its kinda saying the same thing in the same bar.
also the 1st line in that bar was the same as the last of the 1st bar. if that makes sense.


overall: it wasnt bad. good 7/10. some work can be done to inprove the quality o your work. (but at the same time thats quality in a sense of my own personal tastes). so this is just what i got from the read. keep dropping.

I think "windswept leaf" is a good imagery and it works. That is the line I like the most.
