Kanye West Releases New Poem About Being ‘Dead’ on His Instagram

“No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD / Only people who loved me visit in their dreams instead.”

He continued referring to his divorce, “My kids would dance for me in a home I once led.”

At the end of the poem, it seems Kanye realizes what’s happening to him. “I found out one day at the newsstand in purgatory [sic] there was a front page article of my murderers [sic] story,” he writes. “I was so surprised at what it said / This info is for the living / And surprise… You’re DEAD.”

West refused to explain the poem‘s meaning in the caption that accompanied the post because “explanation destroys the mystery and magic of true love and puts it in a box that can be counted.”

He then discussed how people should be allowed to express their emotions and alluded to having to defend his new video for“Eazy.“

“I feel already compromised that I have to justify my expression after over 20 years of art that I’ve contributed to the planet,” he wrote. “But I also see the need to make sure we as a species are allowed to still feel anything Men not allowed to cry celebrities not allowed to cry.”
