Secret Identity

Run from reality Run from who you are In a world of pixelated Pleasure. Seek your true self In a sea of real faces Peering back at you Through the screen Sit mindless Conducting short conversations With secret identities Alone in your room Leave the dishes undone Don’t miss the fun Your children call to you Ignore it. Bathe in self-misery And never go outside. It’s all inside Just beyond reach. Live with your thoughts And face it again. When you turn it off.
