The internet swallowed me
Began innocently enough
many years ago.
Excitedly anticipating those
three words:
You’ve got mail
Here I am years later
fully devoured
Be it on phone, laptop
or the not so social media,
The internet’s brazen child.
Floating amongst
texts looking for syntax
Relationship born
and not so subtly broken
Words that hurt
Words that heal
Mindlessly
staring at endless reels
Amazon deals
Lost cats and dogs
and kids that
bring me to tears.
Pro this and anti that
Lured to prove my point
Enticed with no reward
Walls of decency crumble.
No middle ground
No ground at all
Free falling, free speech
No longer free
Looking for the
Light way out.
