I WANT THE LIMELIGHT

Dear Reader
I hope this heart felt mail finds you well

The reason for writing this mail is to alert you that I want you to know me
I desire that you click the like button whenever I post
I don't care if you like me
I just want you to like my posts
It is trendy to be the best liked on the social media
It makes sense in this fast moving world
It makes cents that add up to a million
That is why we trade family and friends for a minute on the phone
I would rather be more social on the media than real life
Talk about fake friends with my fake friends than about my real friends with real friends
I would rather dress up for Instagram than a real date
I would rather smile for a selfie than with the guy next door 
I would rather be fake on the internet than be real in life
I would rather be depressed in real life but elated on my WhatsApp status
Because I feel like I have lost meaning in life
I would rather exepose the private details of my morphology for a like and a flirt on Facebook 
I would rather be infamous or famus either way but get the busy buzz of social media
I would rather be the trending topic at all cost
Even if the trolls finally eat my life
I would rather die with the most followers on Twitter
Just to be a real millennial living the time
The cost is as crazy as the high
Fast fake life until I am found out
Then if I am not strong enough, the fans eat me away like magots

Kind regards
Millennial

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
