Oneg In The Arctic's poem Poetry Just for You is a critique of the commodification of art and the self-centered consumption of emotional labor. It calls out audiences who take from artists without giving anything back ā€” those who consume art as a way to feel something, without acknowledging the emotional weight carried by the artist.

In essence, the poem asks:
