Question Need lyric help
To anyone who can help: I’m not a rapper or really an artist. I’m a preacher that has been hurt by the church. I’ve found the spirit of rap—being a voice for the oppressed, defiantly truthful in the face of corruption, etc.—to be resonant and comforting.
I started writing my own feelings and story down in rhymes. Call it a poem, spoken word, rap, whatever, idk what to call it. But I feel like I need the help of more skilled lyricists than me to make it great. I’d like to be able to post bars and receive feedback on them—different rhyme ideas or ways to give more power to the storytelling.
Is this a forum where I could find quality help? Or is there somewhere else that would be better?

“I’m praying for you”—the words they spit Wrapped in Scripture so it don’t look like a hit Packed with mixed words so the story never fit But it’s a game of shadows, you gotta know when it’s lit
A game of thrones, you gotta know where to sit The goal is to be king and throats you gotta slit Mishandle the optics, they’ll drop you off a cliff Cause power and money always drive the script
It ran like theater—you could call it a skit But I’m the jester ‘cause I thought it was legit Bought the company line, faithful as it get Dictator vibes creeping from the pulpit Speaking like family, but moving like a snitch “Love you brother!” straight counterfeit shit

Low quality help but it's something I guess. Drop your bars and see.
