I just needed some feed on this verse I used in my battle against smooth and I might continue this one as a series

Every life has a story, mine is a game of card
A king, A queen, Jack and joker in that regard
It wasn't my intetion to get to be the king
I just didn't want anyone to see me being pinned
to the ground-cornered, just wanted to get the honor
like it was my destiny when my eyes laid on her
From the corner of my sight yeah cliche right!
And the next thing I remember she was there by my side

Nothing can possibly go wrong right? 

There it was my big day, I was prepared to be crowned
I was the king now, I thought she'll be my queen and how
will I be spending my days ruling everyone, the sparkling crowd
There I was mistaken and my kingdom was taken

they told me I was unfit to rule the thing that I helped making
bullshit! they would never find a better one they gotta be faking

I wanted to rebel but I kept chokin' my mouth open
my life escaping, through my eyes I tried to rope in
I heard the crowd, they were laughing out loud
My heart sank, I knew I was the one being joked about
the sound grew louder and now I felt my knees - shakin
my heart aching but.. but I was the so called king
I saw my queen standing next to the new king
Fuck! My nightmares' comin true! I am being pinned
My lady in red ! Its too much pain to handle
I just can't be the victim and you just can't be the vandal
Bitch! I'll rise again I promise as long as I am breathing
but next moment my heart starts heating and shortly stops beating
My life races in front of my eyes, all my regrets, all the lies
I curse her! Hope he pounds you all the time with no love and no ties
 
Yet she was my world, all that I had and..

I don't understand after all this why? just why? I am the one crying
when you're the one being cursed then why I am the one dying?

I've feed this before,so I won't go into detail,and on 2nd
reading it's still a good piece,yeah a series would be a
good thing,as there is a lot of scope and detail that
could be added,plus it's a decent topic,with ample of
subject matter to go at..peace.

I don't think I've seen your work before, but this was a nice read. 
First off, the topic is nice, and I like how you incorporated it as a form of an "extended" metaphor, visible throughout your verse. Scheme-wise, this was very decent. You kept a rather continuous, linear structure throughout, but it made for a quite easy and smooth read, partially due to your short line length. The structure also contributed well to the content, making it the focal point here. Rhyme scheme was also rather simple, but it all worked well within the overall composition of this. You had some spelling mistakes, which made the some of the lines appear to be rushed, but again, that's a rather minor point here. 
As for the content, I'd like to see you really expanding it in form of a series. I think that the ending was the highlight of the verse, since you had a very strong emotional appeal incorporated in your last two lines, which evoked a relatable feeling to the reader. Your overall approach was quite creative, but I thought it was slightly linear at the same time. I would have liked to see you elaborating on the circumstances a bit further, rather than focusing almost entirely on the scenery depiction, as you did towards your middle section. I understand that you were limited in your line length here, but it would have made for a nice "challenge" if your verse had some more details to it. I guess you're going to incorporate those aspects in the next verses, though. Overall, nice work!

This was an awesome read Ax! There are no technical problems such as flow, and the story itself reads through well with no unnecessary breaks and reads nicely from start to finish. I would enjoy reading a series of these because I thoroughly enjoyed rapping this to myself. Very strong imagery. Well done - and keep it up! You are an elite topical writer in the making!
