It seems I move

from tv to tv

Staring at a screen

Till I see me.

Or relate to some dude

I just seen

Whos playing fifteen,

But a year past nineteen

I'm still not as mature,

Watch Animals for comedy

And I'm still just a bore,

La la land for love

And its still not assured.

My comedy evades

As tv invades

But the reference

Breaks my defense

And the Will Hunting for response.

Cause it sucks to be unoriginal

Or explain my subliminal.

This poem is about tv. It's to show my frustration with how much I watch tv. The poem started in my head with the first four lines. I was watching Netflix on my computer and saw myself in the screen when the episode ended. Usually my poems start with a single thought which turns into a couple of lines. After that I start to think more about the general and what I want to say with the poem. In this poem, I was trying to show the different impacts tv has on our thoughts, feelings, and originality. Tv is where we learn about a lot of experiences, and we compare our lives to those we see on screen. I wanted to express how I was frustrated that tv portrays young people so maturely and explains love so easily. I also wanted to touch on the effect of tv on my originality and how my comedy has been affected by references. There was a point where tv had corrupted my comedy, and references encapsulated my comedic value. Speaking of which, there are a couple references in the poem to tv shows and movies. There are also little puns and double meanings to be found. I hope this poem helps people remain conscious of the effects of watching tv.
