my name is John Bembry people may want
00:03
to describe me as a rapper writer or
00:06
artist but I’d like to look at myself as
00:10
a creator I like to create things and
00:14
I’m going to continue to create title of
00:18
this piece is called a new heart I’m
00:22
looking for a new heart
00:23
mine is damaged beyond repair it works
00:27
sometimes or never or when it wants to
00:30
it doesn’t do well with anger it will
00:34
tear up like a volcano burning
00:36
friendships or itself it doesn’t show
00:39
too many emotions
00:40
it feels code in my chest and it tends
00:44
to make me numb it seems to react to
00:47
pain more than anything having a fun
00:50
memory can trigger the pain in one side
00:53
it enjoys darkness and solitude I’ve put
00:58
in a lot of work on it it was almost
01:00
completely broken not sure if this is
01:03
how hard should feel if anyone has a
01:06
heart and doesn’t mind ending it that
01:07
would be great
01:08
I can’t physically take it of course but
01:11
maybe it can mend mind into what it
01:13
should be it takes so much willpower and
01:16
focused on the future
01:18
to not let it affect me mentally at
01:20
least I know my mind is strong as for my
01:23
heart it’s gonna take a lifetime of
01:25
treatment to return it to normal if it
01:28
ever has been
01:29
I just hope to feel true happiness one
01:32
day I got introduced to pops the club in
01:39
2013 Pop’s has influenced my life in
01:43
ways I couldn’t understand being young
01:45
but as I continue to come I continue to
01:47
grow and learn from my past and also
01:50
know there’s someone who felt like me
01:52
then who will go through the same change
