I am in the making
of my own digital cage
I confess all the numbness
that comes with not
listening to yourself
Just to seek validation from you
that in itself comes from
a similar point of view
Creating a distorted
made up world full of
unicorns of positivity hiding
demons of loneliness
Chasing quiet but I am chased
in the economy of distraction
An anonymous entity wanting attention
when we’re just a code in the age of information
We’re fools blaming technology for our sins
when we are unable to find a meaning
in all that we do
I’m a fool trying to articulate
that gnawing feeling of dread
that I will simply forget
with a notification or two
Yes fools blame technology, as writes do an inky pen, for it more important what is communicated, than by what.
True true!
Wow. I think this is one of your best pieces. Good work!
Is it? That’s great then! Thank you 🖤
You bet!
I really, really like the ending:
“that gnawing feeling of dread
that I will simply forget
with a notification or two”
Thank you Ben. Your notification made me forget the feeling of dread 🙂
Super on point, loved it.
Thank you!
