Thousands of likes Digital affirmations to an insecure soul Hundreds of retweets In agreement of a pretentious quote Innumerable hearts sent Wowing the 'hippy-artistic' Mac picture
Every portals overflowing with attention Yet not a single shred Not a drizzling drop Of genuine care
We spend our lives peeping into the digital windows of others souls Comparing. Mocking. Craving. Envying. Physically distancing each other with every WhatsApp call.
Until one day Staring at a dead blank screen The deafening silence choking her She wakes up with a gasp Sifting through the thick cobwebs blinding her To see the nothingness Not a trace of warmth left behind
Finally, the silence steals away her awareness The emptiness blinding her soul Pushing and choking In the end A mere corpse remains Still chained to the online life support Just a being But no more a soul
