Hurrah! I love this! Favourite lines: "when you stop pretending/you're not magick". So, you too found out that we are magicians. Yes, we are magicians creating our own reality while pretending someone else or something else did. If you don't discipline your creativity, writer's block moves into its native nothingness. If you stop confusing conformism and freedom, you can toast freedom. Maria

"what if art isn’t what you make

but what leaks

when you stop pretending

you’re not magick?"

So good.

we’re poets. rebels. lovers.

we write like we’re kissing

every part of ourselves

that's been called

too much.

Love this!

This whole piece is incredible, but the stanza:

“sometimes i wonder

if creation is just a kink for chaos.

if artists are the ones who said yes

to being fucked open by wonder

without asking if it was safe.”

is like a genius revelation and a brutal gut-punch at the same time.

Unapologetic, electric, and uncomfortably true.

The whole poem is raw, fearless, and painfully true for anyone who’s ever made something that cost them a piece of themselves. Damn.
