Member-only story
Why?
You post your
private business
For all the world
to see,
Why then cry
your heart out
Such hypocrisy.
You want the world
to love you:
Why can’t you
love yourself?
For Life is more
than images
Upon a platform’s shelf.
Ask yourself
what matters most.
Ask yourself
what’s real.
A profile isn’t human:
Can’t touch,
can’t love,
can’t feel.
I don’t know
why you always try
To live your life
online.
I don’t know why
you must pretend
That everything is fine.
Admit that you are broken.
Allow yourself to mend.
Turn off your technology
Refuse to just hit send.
Walk out in the sunshine;
Talk to a trusted friend
Choose to live
in the real world
Begin your life again.
