“Who are you?”
my sleepy mind mocks me

It tears holes and ties knots
It drips and oozes and makes toxic puddles
contaminating confidence, daily

Instagram is a persona maintained for an audience that seldom claps
100 whistles for
smart captions, pretty faces, good lighting
over-exposed and contrasted, highly saturated filters-
and roses for cleavage

my distorted caricature
