Two Poems

These are two poems I've written over the past couple months, I've wrote and changed these many times, changing words and scrapping fractions of them over and over. These poems attempt to share to subject of conversation, judging how it can be reduced to unnecessary sameness, or talking about anxiety around it. One thing I struggled with most while writing these was flow, trying to structure the words but also the syntax so it would read out similar to the way in my head. Something else I experimented with was rhyme or flow, I've always described poetry as a little musical, so trying to find a balance between it sounding stupid and forced, to it being bland was difficult.

I mainly draw, that's what I consider my art when I think of myself as an artist. So poetry has always been a step lower in my mind. But, I do it to express my ideas that I couldn't express via art. Poetry is a more focused channeling of my ideas I'd say. It's helped me understand what I think.
