Like a Loop on a Hip Hop Track

The story never changes
It just ends
Unsatisfactorily
No healing transformation resolution
The same issues
Playing out in repetitive motion
Like a loop on a hip hop track
Incessantly imposing on and interfering with my life
I wonder
If I see it
As an inherent part of the song
Despite not having chosen it
If I stop resisting or opposing it
Can I turn it into art
and can that art in turn
Become the healing transformation resolution
That I seek
