Dear Writing Platforms

Social Media platforms that both help and hinder the creative soul

Creativity morphed into a psychosis

A neurosis exacerbated daily

Increased levels of tension and anxiety

Synopsis of wanting to please

Words formulated hastily

Chasing fame and popularity

Cents to dollars added to the writer’s charity

Worthiness of words or the perfect photo

Abundant for some whilst poverty for others

Endless chastisement in one’s capabilities

Will I get noticed and curated?

Does that define my popularity?

Does that allow me to sit with the Gods of notoriety?

Or is it a complete clickbait bullshit reality?

Nothing but a numbers game

Algorithms to follow and master

You either fit into it or you don’t

When your soul is made bare

Yet the appreciation is just not there

You gotta keep writing and just not care…
