So, it seems as though I might have procrastinated on this but,
Does anyone have an idea of what would be considered an adequate subject for writing a rap on? What type would even be appropriate?
Technically it's like free-style poetry, but what sort of elements should I be sure to include?
Alliteration? Consonance? Unfortunately this isn't my area of expertise because this'll be my first time attempting this.
But I don't want to get kicked out of class.
Also, does anyone know centimetres to inches conversion off hand?

There's just stuff going on and I don't know what to think of it. In a way I appreciate it but at the same time, it doesn't make much of a difference.
Because he might say that I'm like a son to him but it doesn't change the fact that I'm not. The only one he has is Dave.
And. I know that might not make sense to you out of context and I apologise for that.
I just want to make my dad proud and Uncle Dirk proud. But I always feel conflicted and so much like a waste of space sometimes it just seems inevitable that I'll end up failing.

"Like a son".
That's a whole other kettle of fish.
You don't have to be his son by blood for him to hold you at the same level as Dave.
There's this thing called a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It means a prediction which either directly or indirectly causes itself to come true, simply because you believe that it will, by creating positive feedback between belief and behaviour. What I'm saying here is, if you keep telling yourself you're going to fail, then that's exactly what you're going to do. Your fear of failure is what will eventually cause it.
Dirk.
I'm quite sure you're already making your uncle proud, and your dad, wherever he is.
Re: [Filtered]
What you say makes sense. It's just hard to look at it in that manner right now.

I won't say you're going to be able to alter your outlook on things overnight.
But if you've already written yourself off as a failure, you're not going to get very far.

Maybe it'll be easier once things clear up.
I don't know.

Also, can you be sure not to mention this to anyone? I don't think Dave knows.
