Pop Poetry: Change
April 10, 2021
The air tastes different
Maybe it’s cause I’m spending too much time with the synthetics that my nose has forgotten
Or the cells in my body have replaced
Has it been 7 years already
Food tastes different
What used to be enjoyable seems like a chore
And I am scared for my future to which I can’t imagine the structure within it
The limitations are the same but my body is growing bored
To keep busy with a purpose is an oxymoron I wish not to participate in
But I see the idea of art having no purpose okay
Though art always has purpose otherwise it wouldn’t be art
The art comes into existence as the artist lifts their medium and feels something
That something can either be universal or personal
I do not wish to have a personal purpose
I believe that I was meant to help others
And I get by helping myself through the lull I am protecting and securing the future to which will be less than frugal
Which will allow me to help others
My thinking is flawed because to some extent because of disposition I still believe some art is useless
Maybe that’s why I feel so much guilt for my past
So many things that I’ve done wrong
I feel like now my only purpose of repent can be to help others
But by helping others I am only calming my own mind
Does that make me selfish?
Am I everything they say or am I good like I believe?
Belief can always be better
To truly be good I feel like no one can know
Or is that just a lie I tell myself to feel better
