Social media is an odd public diary
full of our successes and whims
our late night takeout
and early morning musings
Like a hamster in a wheel I spun for years
not asking myself why
Now I dream in peace
with a plain white coffee cup
my morning news
taken with silence
still drawing your face on my hand
with Sharpie
still running my hand across the water
still believing somewhere that
pain is real
and love is something
to live for
