It's been a while since I've made a prose poem. I got struck with sudden inspiration after going down a pinterest rabbit hole.

This poem is about Guerilla art. It's something I've done for a while but only recently found the name for. Basically it's leaving little art pieces out in public spaces without attaching a name to it. This can be stuff like sticky notes, posters, yarnbombs, zines, leaving notes in books, etc.

I started this practice back when i was really into zines. I'm a very creative person, maybe too much so. I'm always coming up with amazing ideas that I need to execute the moment I get them (sometimes it works out well, sometimes it doesn't). I like to leave sticky notes with doodles and zines in public, and I want to try out other things too, like leaving letters with stuff inside or inserting things into books.

I've always had this inner conflict where I want to share my creations with the world, but I am so scared to because I'm scared of how toxic the internet can be. I find that people in art communities are obsessed with perfection, and will bash anything that doesn't fit the bill. And not to mention, it can pull people into addictive loops of attention seeking.

But the guerilla art form kind of evades all that. I don't know who sees my art or how they react to it. I'm not recognized in any way, except maybe by my initials. It can be flawed, messy, so beautifully imperfect.

And I like to think that, by doing this, I get to add just a bit of joy to someone's week, day, or maybe just their hour. I don't think I can make the world a better place, but I can certainly make someone's world a better place, even if just for a little while.

If you are able to, I would highly recommend this. just don't do anything illegal

A poem i thought up while in a space station buffer zone. i don't know what any of this means so take it how you will

1.)Lie; I'm actually writing a hurt no comfort fic! Angst with no happy ending! I'm gonna make people cry hehe
2.)Truth; yes, he's such a little guy. Luz and The Collector come in close second and third.
3.)Truth; it was a princess with a blue dress, I didn't have skin color crayons at the time so I had to give her Simpson yellow skin. I'll post a picture of it later if I can
