Do not go quietly
into that mind-numbing night,
but rage rage!
against the blue light;
The social media
that draws us in,
and makes us have arguements
we can never win.
We loose friends
we thought were true,
and question all in us
we thought we knew.
Turn off your media! Stop the bleeding!
(Why aren’t you acting? You’re still reading!)
Just because you tell
a lie over and over
doesn’t make it true.
He smiles at me from/
her embrace on Facebook. I/
think: “She’s not ready.”
Is a compliment/
kind if it is true? Do we/
speak nice when honest?
Someone I was very close to said they needed to “protect” themselves by isolating. I wrote this after realizing sometimes we “cave” to protect ourselves, when what we really need to do is talk things through, so we can discover what is the truth, instead of just imagining what we THINK is going on.
To protect yourself/
it is best to discover/
what is really true.
