THIS IS A COLLECTION OF POEMS UNDER A SINGLE TITLE
XX. i do not exist to change the world
i exist to make oceans roar,
and let doubt reign in its consumption.
i do not exist to change the world,
because that dream is too far-fetched for my calling,
i simply yearn to cast my shadow
and steal your breath.

Footnotes
I like this one, I feel like it's a little different from what i usually do. :)
This makes me think of Eris - goddess of chaos - but also something much more beautiful and ordinary... I suppose it's a dream many of us have ( I cant speak for everyone) : not to change the world nessecarily, but to prove ourselves in some way.
This is a poem that really makes one think, and I like that.
consider my breath stolen. gone. robbed. in fact, i fear that i may never be able to breath again for the beauty and wonders of your words have ripped the air from my lungs so violently.
I like how you establish a distinction between changing the world and having a great presence in the world. It's a unique perspective and people don't often look for the difference, but it is definitely there. Also I love your title, when I saw that I immediately clicked on it to read! Excited to see what you do with "Slightly Controversial Topics that are slightly tantalizing, but we're going to talk about them anyway".

OOH, I think this is about some sort of deity that's been cast astray by its peers/other gods??
