creative with a twist
i don’t want to spend my life
wringing out my brain
for drops of nectar
to use as bait
for likes and subscribers
that will never come
so i can sell every ounce
of creativity
that runs through my veins
to live comfortably
and not go insane
doing corporate bullshit
in a colony of ants.
i want to live for pleasure,
not just to survive
but to enjoy freedom
and do things
that make me feel alive.
i don’t want to feel pressure
to monetize every thought
or every feeling.
to spill my guts for compensation
when the alternative
is dealing with oppressive structures
making money for the wealthy.
