And back in the studio…. There are two versions of this track sample and I want honest ears on both before I move forward. Version 1 Version 2 And tell me why: which one feels more haunting, more cinematic, more emotionally exact, more replayable? I’m listening for: the vocal tone, pacing, atmosphere, tension, and which version actually leaves a mark after the 1:20 ends. Help me choose which version of “Do You Fit In?” deserves the next stage.

Theme: Anyone Can Catch These Bullets Some shots are intentional. Some aren’t. Maybe you were the target, maybe not. Either way, the impact lands the same. Words & actions… once released, sometimes we can’t control where it will land. Today, we explore what it means to be hit on purpose and what it means to be caught in something that was never meant for you. Prompt 1 – Stray Shots Write a poem about harm that wasn’t aimed at you, but still hit. What does it feel like to take damage that had nothing to do with you? (Angle: unintended impact) Prompt 2 – Dead Aim Write a poem about being the intended target. When something is directed at you on purpose…words, actions, or harm. What made you the focus? (Angle: intentional harm) Prompt 3 – Pulling the Trigger Write a poem about being the one who caused the harm. Whether intentional or not, what did you release and who did it reach? (Angle: accountability / impact)
