Same Persona



Tho’ the soft voice has an aristocratic tone,
the haughty attitude ain’t no street gutter different:
Being rude ... dropping shade

Dark keystroke mood, 
shallow indigo indifference shown
Another bad online day made

Royal pain of a social media princess
giving good grief
With a sunny disposition staged

That same persona
is acting out in public again — 
Digital tongue intoxicated by the viral fame

Drunken thoughts of superiority
are spilled on the laptop
As her mental runt rants spew more shame

But[t] always couched behind banal positivity,
trite emoji expressions
Mousy pooter loves to sphincter the blame

The same gaslight persona
is acting out in the public forum again — 
Low heel clicks from lattice lips

Drama queen on a toilet spin,
gossip lovers say she has such a hater handle
Royal flush of a sent sewer clip

Petty web of inane intrigue
got much diva curiosity following her
A Twitter litter trail of trash-talking catnip

Different window dressing edit, peppermint vetted, 
has the same bittersweet facade — 
Hard candy hits from her gentle fingertips
