The Distance Between Your Face And The Screen

drifting

apart

I hate to admit
everyone's becoming
social media
friends
not irl
not
even
text
friends

everyone knows everyone online
how do they know them
becomes a chorus
and soon
you're hours deep
stalking profiles and comments
everyone is linked
and you're left
out

when you knew them
you didn't know yourself
and now you do
you're lurking
hoping

The Distance Between Your Face And The Screen

it's clear you should in
coming out
connected

becoming

closer
