Payday
My life is a series of Fridays.
52 weeks.
The years speed by.
I hate money and bills.
What a waste of time.
To paint and to create
is something for the rich
I can do it in the closet
but I'll never be able to exist off of it.
Depression is a smile that is worn like
clothes that change only every other day.
Who fucking cares anyway when you're
only living for payday.

As much as I choose to be an optimist, you painted a sadly realistic picture ... Bless and much love ... ..

Golly! Don't talk like that.
There's a billionaire somewhere relying on you to make his profits with your effort.

But...
What if the art drives aspects
of our lives...
That we may not always be fully aware of...
I just know...
I used to write in notebooks...
Not sharing with anyone...
Not knowing why...
Or...
Because...
And that made all the difference for me...
What if...
Art was not made for money...
I know it can make money...
But what if that is not the main purpose.?.
Or...
The purpose evolves...
We live in a oversaturated age...
But there is still room for innovation and cunning...
I suppose its a matter of perspective...
I see potential everywhere...

That closing stanza is a reminder that many of us have facades and no one knows which is the true self.
Excellent spill.

Haven’t read anything from you in awhile. You haven’t lost your appeal… Loved the “closet exist off it” flow…

Very relatable to most of us out here. I dig the honesty in your writing.
