The word, I.


Introspecting on Introspection


Instrospection - the word, oomphed I.
‘Twas self discovery long back.
Introspection – belittled by selfies,
Duck-faced filters on Snapchat.

Beauty is skin deep, or was it?
Self worth dances a different tune ~
To the current gravitas.
Pardon me – I mean Twitter Trends.

Project yourself!
‘Click Click Click’
Add some likes to fan your existence.
Your opinions in scope only via tweets.

Oh wait! Don’t get me wrong!
I am so NOT -
The in-your-face relentless Facebook poster
Or Imposter – Touche Touche!

I am to blame too,
A follower shadowing the duck faced
Billowed - now the prey and hounded
What happened to the ‘I’ that I lovingly faced?

Enamoured by the sense of worth,
Sold in the virtual world.
Easy give and take-
Good publicity is all about getting trolled

Coming full circle with you -my I
Introspect with you - Dear I, you meant a lot
How did the letter i,
Blur out the word I?
