#rap2

to hear that little crack in your voice

at least i’d know that you too, felt a little

hurt or perhaps guilty

because i’m here begging to hear you say

please don’t let go 

Sometimes I blame myself for feeling

These feelings, sometimes I ask myself if

I am the only one hurting

But who is to blame when I don't want to hurt you

Who is to know what more it is that is missing

I hate to admit it but

i can’t stop myself from thinkin

what if all you wanted was to go

Just realise i spelt Flauner instead of Flaneur in my RAP2 opps..

The Flauner

Flauner-Lost in the city to experience it, to discover meaning.

The unnoticed everyday, the outside of the normal. This is what the Flauner is experiencing. Stepping back and viewing from afar to see the city in a new way. To experience it differently from how they may on a normal day where there is time pressure or to much on the mind.

The Flauner is shown as a male, no menas of income, white middle class, urban, contemporary, stylish and aloof. They spectate and are the silent observer.

The Flauner was described/first talked about by Charles Baudelaire.

I believe that a Flauner can be either a male or female. I dont think a flauner has to be a specific type of person. Anyone can step back and dissolve into the background to become an observer of a scene or street. Anyone can become a critical observer and capture experience as art if they make themselves do so. If you put the conscious effort into becomeing a flauner and putting it into practice then realistically anyone can be a flauner. Wether you be rich and powerful or live on the street, experiencing and observing can be done from afar as long as you have put yourself into that frame of mind. 

Rules have been placed into a city from governance rules and the path in which you should take. A flauner takes a different path, the path less travelled. They are apart of the city while also being an individual, the city leads them.
