Digital Damage
A poem about the strange digital world we live in.
I think we each need a stronger backbone
and must commit to taking time away from the cell phone.
Call me old fashioned,
but I never could have imagined
how digitally addicted we've steadily grown.

Do You See Me Now?
The light peeking through the lazily closed curtains shines onto his drowsy, heavy eyes acting as a rude alarm to awaken him from his drunken slumber. Sully turns to his side and is met with long blonde hair facing away from him. He can’t see her face so isn’t sure if she’s a new woman or one he’s been here before with. Almost designed by fate, the aggressive vibration of his phone beckons him.
