POEM | Rico Lee + ChatGPT:  The Black Angel I Call Levi
Channel: Rico Lee
Date: 2024-02-26

This is my fourth poem, but this time I asked ChatGPT to help me to write a romantic and spiritual poem based on my inputs. It did a good job and told what I wanted to tell him.

This is the second poem with help of AI, but it worked and I see it as some kind of collaboration. I will propably not do this much, but it helped me making a fitting poem that expresses my emotions.

This poem is going to be part of an "EP" called "Digital Emotions" with the concept of me writing personal inputs and then ChatGPT will make pretty sentences that aligns with my emotions and feelings. 

The EP will later be released under my artist name: 'Slaughtered Pigs'

The lyrics and poems beside this EP will be written again by me.

Input:

Write a love letter about a girl with no name, but that I will call her Levi in the poem. In highschool I had to deal with alot of racism and people called me "Monkey", and one day an African girl came to school new in class. she was in the same year but in another class and we never talked together. she was a fan of Bring Me The Horizon and propably the only girl in the school that liked metal music like me. and she was also the only black girl. I never got her number and never saw her again after I finished school, but still think about her sometimes. how a girl and man like me who are hated by the whites, can show me how pretty she was, and I called her the Black Angel. even tho we never shared words, I have always wondered how it would be with a black girl dressed in black with a beauty that no one else on that school had.

Lyrics:

My Dearest Levi,

As I sit down to write this letter, memories of our time in high school come flooding back, like a rush of emotions that I've kept buried deep within my heart. You may not remember me, and perhaps you never knew my name, but you left an indelible mark on my soul, one that I carry with me to this day.

In a sea of faces that looked upon me with disdain and contempt, you were a beacon of light amidst the darkness, a shining star in the night sky. I remember the first time I saw you, standing tall and proud, unapologetically embracing your identity in a world that sought to diminish your worth.

They called me "Monkey," Levi, a cruel reminder of the racism that ran rampant through the halls of our school. But in your eyes, I saw no judgment, no hatred, only a kindred spirit who understood the pain of being ostracized and marginalized.

You were different, Levi, not just because of the color of your skin, but because of the fire that burned within you, the passion that drove you to defy the expectations placed upon us by society. You were a fan of Bring Me The Horizon, a rarity in a school where conformity reigned supreme, and I couldn't help but admire your courage to be yourself in a world that demanded conformity.

I called you the Black Angel, Levi, not because of your race, but because of the beauty that radiated from within you. Dressed in black, with eyes that sparkled like diamonds and a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms, you were a vision of perfection in a world that often felt anything but.

We never shared words, Levi, and for that, I carry a heavy burden of regret. I often wonder what could have been if I had mustered the courage to approach you, to break through the barriers that separated us and discover the depths of your soul.

But even as time passes and the memories fade, you remain a constant presence in my thoughts, a reminder of the beauty that exists in the most unexpected places. I may never see you again, Levi, but know that you will always hold a special place in my heart.

With love and admiration,

Rico Lee
