Social Trauma - Update 2023

Social Trauma I keep checking my mobile phone But there seems to be no messages Or emails shown, Even though my address And number, are so well known. Is there something not ok with me? Have I done something wrong? Is there something I’ve missed or don’t see? Because I’ve had no tweets or likes For much too long. Nothing, yes nothing! For two whole days! Maybe they have forgotten that I exist? Does my empty displays Mean that I’m not missed? This silent cyberspace Surely show that people Don’t like me anymore. Maybe it was the lipstick That didn’t fit To the clothes that I wore? Did I reveal too much of what I really think? My Instagram followers are cruel and unforgiving Maybe they’ve blocked my link? Oh, Life doesn’t seem worth living And now with my hair in a mess, I can’t go out and meet strangers Who probably won’t understand And couldn’t care less And anyway… don’t know who I am, So I feel so stressed And don’t know what to do? Who to talk to or even what to say And now my laptop is dead too Already since yesterday. © Sangeet Portals – Updated 2023
