Alive Still Poet Free verse

Social Media Mixtape

can I ask for just a moment
don't want to take up much of your time
you asked how I was doing
I lied and said I'm fine.
thoughts have taken me outside of myspace.
into my Facebook, tick tok banned and erased.
 ig stories tend to be staged
 then Twitter went an X'd itself out of the page.
I open YouTube music begin floating on icloud.
Google drive my way with passion.
Pandora cruising windows down.
vibe check with a mixtape wins my heart 10 toes down.

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 21, 2026 at 5:35 AM A clever, contemporary emotional spiral through the apps we use to curate connection. I love how the social-media references turn into a mixtape of longing, escape, and vulnerability—especially that quiet admission: “I lied and said I’m fine.” Alive Still August 21, 2026 at 9:17 AM Thank you so much. Much appreciated. 😃
