Does the screen unite us?
Or does it separate us?
When we try to hide,
Behind those emojis,
Desperately trying to be fine.
When around people
We pretend to be happy,
We pretend it's all okay,
We pretend we don't care,
When desperately we try,
To be fine.
But online?
Online all the profess,
Turns into ashes,
We cry we laugh
But all behind the black screen,
Well hidden by those,
Familiar yellow pictures.
Aren't we all the same?
Stuck in a phase,
Where we are all too afraid to show,
To show the scars that made us strong,
While desperately trying to be okay.

btsmania07 inspired me to write this poem, her poem on emojis gave me the idea to write one myself.
