Disturb me/Comfort me
I saw a thing that said something along the lines of "Art comforts the disturbs, and disturbs to comfortable." Write something that follows that.

Disturbed

I love this idea, and i'll tell you why

My G-d am I disturbed

All my colleagues know it.

I'll play music of the insane while I cut meat

Die Antwoord, Rob Zombie...

I tell them it relaxes me.

It's a half truth

It's because the energy of this music

Matches my internal reality

It synchronizes with the rhythm of my internal madness

And in that way, it is soothing.

I don't know if that's why some art comforts the disturbed

While that same art disturbs the comfortable...

No wait! I do know!

The comfortable are disturbed by art that soothes the disturbed...

Because it reminds them of a piece of themself they have yet to integrate

If you have not integrated your shadow

You may fear it

I mean...I dunno...

Bunch of punk ass bitches, haha.

It's hard for me to imagine art that would disturb me

There is no art more disturbing than life itself

If you don't see that

Then man

You haven't lived.
