Social Media
By Ashley O’Hare
A portal to another world;
nothing here feels real.
The pictures,
the stories—
too perfect for my eyes.
A cyber museum
curated specifically for my kind—
feeding on insecurities by design.
Only 1% of those online
will thrive.
The remaining ninety-nine
will join me
in therapy,
in church,
on a retreat—
fighting to make it out alive.
