A poem about my experiences being, doing, seeing, losing, and choosing as an artist what it means to be online. As an artist and to gain and hold influence in an environment that encourages blinding narcissism by nature of its cultural expression.



Gimme your dang art!
Play your damn part!
Social media Social media
Please fulfill my heart

I'm so empty
My soul has left me
I need attention
Attention a plenty

I need your kinks
I need you to think
I've got it going on
And that I don't stink

So draw for me please
Let's trade artistry

Just know it'll never
Make me happy
Never and forever
Not a single bit better

It might be a please
It's probably a tease
But it's just for a moment
A moment of ease

I'll reach out for anyone
Branching like trees
I'll lie to you boldly
"Only you can help me."

So please let's acquaint
And please let me paint
You with my target sign
I'll strike you a feint

You gave me your blow
And now watch me go
Hey, know your place, pal!
Don't dare to follow

I'm me, I'm my own
Stay out of my zone
Just give me your art
Give your heart, blood, and bones


And when I go big?
You better go fig
I ain't gonna invite you
To none of my gigs

'Cause I don't know commitment
I'm only a kid
I live in the moment
Don't know what I did

Don't know where my soul went
Don't care where it hid
Just give me your kindness
It will be wasted


Please give me your grace
Pity my blindness
See my anxious face?
How I hurt when I mind this

This history of my own
This misery in my bones
This mystery which I won't show
This hysteria when you know

What I've done
And who I've hurt
How I don't care
And even worse
Think I'm the victim
How perverse


Don't hold me accountable
Please don't say you found 'em all
Because my sins are deep within
And I won't look in that direction

I just wanna escape my past
Is that really so much to ask
After all, I ran so fast
From the violent explosive blast

That I caused 'n refuse to see
Or take responsibility

You want real friends but why insist?
You're a silly clown for feeling so pissed
Look around, haven't you noticed?
This playground is for narcissists

A human isn't meant to be
Drowning in popularity
We're meant to live
Meant to give
Energy to souls
Not lies through a sieve

I wasn't given a chance to be human
So I chose to be a work of art
But all this time I should've looked when
I wanted to be human from the start

Your attention?
It's best unspent on
Narcissistic works of art
Please always ask your questions
Look much closer at the hearts






If you don't know what DARVO is?
You're a narcissist's best friend.

Please take care.
