A friend told me I should write about creativity
i.
Creativity is awesome dudes.
It is a source of light in a dark and stubborn
world that wants to enslave you
You create
freedom and courage with creativity.
Now some people think that the only reason to do
something is if they can make money from the endeavor.
That is stupid.
How much money do you get from watching tv or reading
or eating or taking a bowl movement for a walk around the city?
ii.
Creating is human.
It is something that we should do
without doubt or fear.
Many people are depressed and take chemicals
to alter their mood. For some this is the only way
they can step out of the rancid ignorance of depression.
You can change your mood and learn to control
the way you feel through the choices you
make and how you choose to view the world.
You can laugh at your internal and exterior complexities.
You can be aware, invested, and joyous.
iii.
Emotion is part of being
human and everyone gets depressed
when messed up things happen.
The difference is some allow themselves to act
human and express loss, shame, fear, etc and move on.
Some use creativity as way
to develop and grow a joy infected peaceful human.
One of the beginning steps of creating peace is creating.
Peace creates joy.
iv.
Teach self to be in the moment and not caught
in a past or a future. Admit to yourself
that you are a fool and the whole world is made up
of fools and we are all idiots and there is no one
who is not despite their cocky
stance or explosives or big tits.
No one is better than you and there is always someone
who’ll get more praise and props.
They may be sorry excuses for a human but
so are you and so really what is there to complain about?
You are not going to create the greatest art ever.
Someone will come along and usurp you.
That is not your goal when you are creating.
Your goal is to create.
You can always go back and say your art
sucks apple cores and rework it into something
that is not offensive to your aesthetic eye pie.
First you create and lose the rabbit in the process.
You create in the now and maintain
blind faith in self humanity.

The first section is a poem, the rest is just a reminder to poets and the like that creating is for the artist. Don’t forget to enjoy yourself in the process. Create for yourself. Don’t worry if it is any good. Just create it and feel good and proud about being a human. What if the first cave painters second guessed themselves?
Creativity is a fever dream
that causes hallucinations
and leads to madness.
A bothersome cloud of mosquitoes
buzzing for blood.
You poke holes
in the skin
and bleed and bleed
and bleed for them
and there are never
any ‘thank yous’
for your effort
or consideration.
II.
there are no mistakes.
only things to be revisited.
III.
I love this.
Well said, well said. Thanks for the verses on creativity.
thank you openhand
