Slip from the rules.

Could we just not
do whatever we’re doing right now
whatever we’ve done in the past
could we just do something new
does it exist still
that concept of new
so many ideas written
so many rules placed
can I scratch them out
is it possible
to slip from the rules
and create something new
I feel a sense of jealousy
to those before
being able to set their parameters
to create the concepts
I feel angry for all
because they live in it
they follow it
they try
but we’re always just repeating
feeling we need to improve in it
why do we
I write and call it poetry
it’s just a bunch of thoughts strung together
which is poetry?
whatever it is
I just want to break it
to not follow every rule
every thought
and then I die within the cliques
because this mind
it’s heard it
it’s read it
it’s trying to surpass it
but it’s getting stuck in it
I hate it.

Thanks for reading.
