SILLY POETY

I Wanna Be a Social Media Star

A poem

A photo of my meal.
A tweet on how I feel.

A picture of myself
In which I reek of health and wealth.

That’s what I share on social
even though I’m woeful.

Every selfie photoshopped
or at least my flaws out-cropped.

Lest you see the reality
that I am a manatee.
