True Conviction

I’ve far too long been a drudge of a cracked screen

But the likes and comments give me a sense of being

Too comfortable to dismay the followers

So I continue to act accordingly to society’s powers

To undermine and define my true being

Wearing a different mask daily to deceive those who are seeing

My posts, my photos, my scripts, my performance

For irrelevant beings who are nothing but conformists

But still I follow the pack knowing I can be my own self

Using pointless selfies as a shield to hide my inner wealth

The sweet words and honorable numbers

Equate nothing to my incomparable blunder

Imperfections and mistakes are what make me beautiful

Because no one can compare to what is truthfully essential

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
