#Illusion of Worth

The reflection of oneself
A product desire to be made
Molded, acting as a medium
Bridging between masked persona
And acquainting words of belonging
A statement, like a scratch to an itch
Presented, shown in a grand fashion
Anticipating something, anything, for a message
That temporary reassures lacking identity
Diversion from bounded uncertainty
Illusions of a gluttony ego
Sated from palatable shallow praises
Down by feelings of anguishing inadequacy
Brought up by a sense of crowning superiority

A really complicated poem you need to read multiple times definetly, but this is exactly what I love about it. So many things that are worth to interprete. I hope its okay if I try to describe my thoughts.

I think it fits perfectly with todays topic of social media Presence. With every picture or story the lyrical me posts, the more an alternate ego is formed. The narrator describes that the people online crave to posses what they see. There may be a sent of disgust and royality that the lyrical me is feeling towards what happens online. This split experience is what leads to the continuation of the narrators doing. And that person craves for this attention as well.

Keep up the good work, hopefully my thoughts are okay :)
