Dear social media self,
Why is it so hard
To show who you really are?
You drive yourself insane
Trying to come up with something interesting to say
You only post things that you think others might
Find interesting
Just to over think it.
You drive me to insanity
Sincerely,
Yourself
(I usually don't write poems, so sorry if it doesn't really rhyme. Also, please tag me! I find the writing prompts cool)
@determinedNest6866 I like this a lot. It encapsulates a lot of what I was trying to say to myself.
A lot of social media is mostly just an online popularity contest.
@purplelady568 Thanks. Glad you like it

Dear WhiteRaven,
Another name used on another website, forum, game, or socially active online society. Although you feel anonymous picking many names throughout your online career, I know who you are (Behind the screen). You don't have to impress the random people of the world with shinning the spotlight on your positives and avoiding the negatives. The glass walls fall all to easy and we both know, starting again is far to familiar. People come and go, names change and feelings fade, but at the end of the day. When you look in the mirror and find your position in life, your progress, your achievements, downfalls, and failures. .
Does it matter what they think?
@Clarisse29 here you go...
Dear anxious baby,
How far do you have to withhold
Tell your sphere about your world
Share the joy of what you mold
Fear that you may be too bold
For the crowd that love the gold
Perhaps not, the calm cajoled
Do they wish to see the wondrous?
Do they need a lil more kindness?
Or a nudge and gentle reminders?
It doesn't matter, why so edgy
If it matters don't get sweaty
You do you, babe! That is catchy.
✨️ A tweet I'd like to share:
Incase no one told you: you aren’t here to live, work, endlessly seek validation, and to be approved of by everyone. The more authentic you are, the less approval you’ll get. Have the courage to not be for everyone and watch how much better life gets. - Dr. Nicole LePera
Dearest Cheese
I'm begging, please
to tell me how you do it
You socialize!
You speak your mind!
You're doing better than I.
It's hard to talk to those I know
To let whatever's in me show
But here online
You're doing fine!
Everyone can make their say
Or vent about their day
To share the sobs and hurrays
So Cheese
I'm proud of and aspire to be
More like you
Open, free.
