I grew tired of the fake
Likes hearts smiles
reminded me of Valentine
what truths discussions
shared...Nothing
three words a day
Is this living
a friendship
conversation
No

I am at that window
willing too live as I
once had done
In real
writing real letters
talking to a voice
on the phone
(no one has time
too busy checking
their mail...)

thank god for buttons
to delete accounts
delete works

within a week
Im starting to cut
loose the deadwood
of this modern
electronic bullshit
and focus on what
is real
what I can smell
read with eyes
body language

I will be doing myself
a great favor by coming
back too life
instead of the wasteland
of the trolls
and the brilliant
My genius may be
needed elsewhere

and Im deleting all my work here
nothing personal
but every twenty years I do a purge
still read..still be a member
it was a passion but it is not
my life...
there is so much more

that and Im talking to a woman
elsewhere on another site
she totally makes sense too me
i believe her

author comment

A poem of contemporary psyche. Longing for new challenges is human nature. The flow is good and I can understand clearly. I deactivated my facebook account some 10 years ago.
