art – Dead-Logic

Everything I do on the Internet is a hobby. I make music. I create silly videos for the music I make. I write on this blog. I complain about the government on Instagram. I don’t do any of this for money. I have two jobs where I earn money to survive.

Even my posts on Instagram protesting the government, calling out billionaires, speaking out against A.I., is more or less a hobby. Well, “hobby” may not be the most accurate word. It’s an activity at least. Yeah, I’m standing up for something, but in the end, it’s just another social media post. I post that content to let the world know where I stand and to rage against the machine, but I don’t look at my online presence as some great important work.

I wrote another poem last night.

This work is titled, “Be Yourself” or “Screw You I’ll Attend an Alpaca Convention if I Want to”

It’s written in anapestic tetrameter, the same meter as A Visit from St. Nicholas (or “Twas the Night Before Christmas“).

Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Write, make music, sing, dance, post a TikTok, play a sport, bake cakes… express yourself how you want, in a way that conveys your authentic self and makes you happy. If you’re not harming anyone and you’re enjoying your life the best you can, then forget the haters. Their words say more about them than they say about you.
