Big Truths, Little Lies

I started with superheroes,
Which led me to memes
Then on to fan-art
With superhero themes.
I laughed at a squirrel
Dressed as Thor
I clicked for smiles
I clicked on for more.
My clicks led to quotes
And questions of the heart
And the superheroes faded
And introspection began to start.
Oh the joy of a costume
The bright colored lie
Just a few clicks away from
The truths they belie.
