The alchemy of art and pain
Flowed in the lyrics of Kurt Cobain
He was a friend I never knew
A man with a shared mental strain
The rage in his voice
My sense of relief
Painting dreadful dysphoria
Sharing beauty with me
You were a prophet of grunge
You came before my time
An avatar of a generation
Your legacy will never die
Our differences bred loneliness
Hating toxicity in our world
With our queer minds neglected
Demanding a voice to be heard
Amplifier of love and rage
Tortured by toxic pain
Piercing voice and beautiful mind
Slowly poisoned by polluted veins
Your accutely sensitive soul
Your spirit much like mine
My identity in utero
Our sacred spirits intertwined
–GOTHIC ANGEL c)2025
