Not everyone gets out. Cycles don’t break themselves... people do. And it ain’t pretty. Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is wake up… and do one thing differently. That’s how my freedom started. That’s how my art was born. -Jai the Poet #BreakTheCycle #WakeUp #FYP

I used to scroll to feel alive. Now my fingerprints are worn smooth, and my thoughts load with a lag. If I’m still me... then why do I dream in algorithm? —Jai the Poet #AltPoetry #SpokenWord #GlitchArt #DetroitMusic #WakeUp #TruthTeller #NoCureForCulture #RecordHead #FYP

You ever open your phone for one reason… and wake up an hour later, scrolling a life that isn’t yours? That ain’t attention. That’s possession. I make music for the ones trying to remember themselves inside the feed. —Jai the Poet #MentalHealth #OperationNeedleDrop #WakeUp

Me: says something real The algorithm: “Let’s make sure only 3 people see this.” 👋 Shadowbanned and still spittin'. 🎥 youtu.be/ChFB9Lr4IgY?si… 🎵 open.spotify.com/artist/2FNpvZ4… 🍎 music.apple.com/us/artist/jai-… #CensorMe #ShadowBanned #TruthTeller #WakeUp #OperationNeedleDrop #FYP

🪞 I stared into the feed… and it blinked first. Most timelines are just mirrors that show you what you're scared to face. —Jai the Poet #AltPoetry #CanvasDrop #GlitchArt #NoCureForCulture #DigitalMirror #FYP #RecordHead #WakeUp #TruthTeller #Surrealism #OperationNeedleDrop

📡 They couldn’t delete me… So they mislabeled me. “Problematic.” “Glitch.” “Other.” Good. Let them struggle to categorize what refuses to conform. —Jai the Poet 🎥 youtu.be/ChFB9Lr4IgY?si… 🍎 music.apple.com/us/artist/jai-… #OperationNeedleDrop #DigitalResistance #GlitchArt #FYP

I downloaded myself… and forgot where the original went. Now I glitch when I laugh and buffer when I’m alone. Am I the signal… or the static? —Jai the Poet #AltPoetry #CanvasDrop #GlitchArt #SpokenWord #OperationNeedleDrop #RecordHead #DigitalDecay #FYP #DetroitMusic

I used to chase heroin. Now I chase likes. Same chemical. Different dealer. —Jai the Poet #AddictionRecovery #OperationNeedleDrop #AltPoetry #TruthTeller #DetroitMusic #GlitchArt #SpokenWord #DigitalAddiction #RecordHead #WakeUp #FYP #Surrealism #PoetryDrop #PoeticResistance

I think the algorithm blocked me for being too real with myself. Guess I’ll go argue with my shadow. #OperationNeedleDrop #AltPoetry #SpokenWord #PoeticGlitch #RecordHead #FYP #DigitalRebellion #Surrealism #TruthTeller #SelfAwareness #GlitchArt #ShadowWork #NoCureForCulture

She asked me if I’m real. I said… “I think in broken poems, and feel in deleted files.” What does that make me? —Jai the Poet #AltPoetry #DigitalExistence #OperationNeedleDrop #GlitchArt #DetroitMusic #RecordHead #FYP #NoCureForCulture #PoeticResistance #Surrealism

I’m not even inside this body anymore. I’m somewhere in the code, rerouted through every notification and skipped heartbeat. I’m watching myself… buffering. —Jai the Poet #AltPoetry #PoetryDrop #TruthTeller #DigitalDissociation #RecordHead #Surrealism #GlitchArt #FYP #WakeUp

Pretty sure the simulation broke. But I’m still logged in. Guess I’ll watch it glitch from the front row. #AltPoetry #PoeticSatire #OperationNeedleDrop #GlitchArt #DetroitMusic #RecordHead #PoetryDrop #NoCureForCulture #DigitalDecay #SimulationTheory #FYP #TruthTeller #WakeUp

I used to chase chaos just to feel something. Now I sit with the silence I used to run from. Healing doesn’t always look poetic. Sometimes it looks like restraint. —Jai the Poet #AddictionRecovery #PoeticResistance #GlitchArt #FYP #Surrealism #DigitalHealing #MentalHealth
