You're All Caught Up

A poem about social media and individuality

Contempt; Validation; Indifference; Contempt

To see the world around us,

With all its beauty and fuss!

How lucky are we?

To have so much to see!

Ooh! A cat!

We are curious, you see,

We seek understanding, but also to hear

We are already perfect.

No need to get up or move. Just perfect right here.

Oh, a cat.

We know what we are.

We are bound together, by

The challenges we face. We must do,

Don’t question why.

A cat.

Who are we?

We are the healthy, the beautiful, the spotless,

The traveller, the photographer, the teacher, the student,

The thrillseeker, the quiet reader, the party goer, the learned knower,

To see the world around us,

To be the world around us,

To be us,

Shattered and scattered, my heart packaged

A neat little box, in the shape of a heart,

liked, saved,

Another one.
