Image for the poem Logging off.

Logging off.

Is that worse.
They do not care.
I've logged off.
Left them there.
 
Is that worse.
Than hanging on.
Seeking likes.
They don't know I'm gone.
 
A patter mask.
A joke facade.
It's not me online.
A dull placarde.
 
Mental health week.
MENTAL health week.
Mental HEALTH week.
Mental health WEAK.
 
So many stories.
Shared faux missery.
Seeking platitudes.
Sick and grissely.
 
You can't be sick.
But you're so funny.
It isn't me.
Can't see it's sunny.
 
All glad their through it.
Pats on backs.
A tick box checked.
We've fixed, relax.
 
But I'm not there.
No more pretending.
No jokes, No posts.
No happy ending.
