Everyone here
Feels so knowledgeable
So wise
I click on profile
After profile
And I see the ages tower over mine
And your poems have history
A lesson
A moral
Mine are just a kid’s
A permanent marker on
A white wall
And I don’t understand sparkles
I remember that black mirror episode
The one where you bike for money
And spend the money on an attempt to get more
It seems too similar, no?
Why can’t I just write
And you can just read
And we can exist
On our own private plane?

The quest is weary
And we are still deary...
The wine barrels are empty now....
Let stay here... With a sheer...
We still have to a vow...
Take my hand... Let me hold you...
Make me fanned... You are a beauty to behold...
Dance with me... March with me...
I'm gonna tell you the story untold...

I scroll
Mindless
Spineless
Pictures pass as time does
I know more of my own face
Than I do of my words
Who am I?
Is left unanswered
How do I look?
An exhaustive list
Complaints and room for improvement
Although my mind is a stronger tool
I grapple only with the superficial
But I was programmed this way
To judge others
Pictures
Likes
Trained to respond to the outside
Before exploring within
I hate to imagine what is becoming of us

How did this photo get only 40 likes

How did she have so many followers
(all of her posts are *******
Wanna have dinner?
(We can spend 2 hours sitting across each other while our hands are glued to our phones.)
Hey, want to meet up?
(So we can post social media stories to make it look like we're having fun.)
Hi, how was your day?
(Oh wait, I'll just check on your feed.)
Hey, how'd everything go with that job interview you had today?
(Right, I'll just look at your FB status.)
Hi, do you ever wanna talk?
(But you know, on the phone, or like, only online?)

I am going to lie
On a black mirror
I wrote
Discribed in detail
how it would be done
Finished it with a signature
In the finest of gold ink
Watch it dry
I find in the words
That I spoke truth
The beauty of this lie
Had transformed from a speech
When I spoke the lie was apparent
I was able to write the truth
But when I told you
A lie is all you heard

black mirror, black hole
dark matters
control my ground
mirror, mother
my face turned blue
I reflected
is there something I can do?

Nosedive
I used to think that my brilliance equates that of the sun-
that when people see me, they see light, day, sunshine,
they find peace.
As a child, I deemed myself as the best fit,
the cream of the crop, the joy of the world,
until I found myself wallowing in feigned glory
I realised that there were million other suns around me,
basking in “reflected glory”,
thinking they are the salt and light of today.
Truly, people are more brilliant that we think they are
but not as brilliant as they think they are
