Poetry Just for You
Drink up
You take my poetry like a sip of hot sauce
Something to wake you up, make you feel
Words that keep you going a little longer
With no real regard to how it affects me
I write you poetry so you feel better about yourself
Feel seen, heard, like your feelings are valid
You clap superficially and then move on to the next
Forget that my words are also my experience
Unless of course
They are just artificially rearranged for you
Because it's all about you, isn't it?
It's all about how and what you feel from the art
This art is a fart
Fine art in motion
My words squatting and letting one rip
One leg up in the air
Practically pissin' on your territory
And yet you applaud it
How pathetic, yet completely expected
But hey, don't worry, the poetry will keep comin'
Always ready to grab you by the nips and balls and yank hard on those emotions
Just think of reading poetry like acceptable masochism
Ain't that progressive of you
