Analysis of Social Media
I met ten-thousand people today,
in a cold and fake, imaginary way.
I poured my heart into the stream,
to find a mirage of what may seem.
People electronically barely there
without the being to really care.
Forlornly I throw the troubled word
to settle so quiet as to be unheard.
Yet, I’ll wear the illusion of community
filled with unpeople I will never see,
tomorrow to howl again, into the deep,
like an ignored, unseen, unloved creep.

About this poem
Social media is like a shell with a fantasy on the outside and a sterile void inside.
