Reclaiming My Digital Odyssey

In the realm of cyberspace, I took my stand,
A journey on Facebook's digital land.
With friends and family, a decade's embrace,
In this virtual world, I found my place.
But storm clouds gathered, toxicity grew,
A web of turmoil, emotions askew.
I pondered my path, sought guidance from near,
To face this dilemma, confront the fear.
Alternatives considered, but none felt right,
So back to the familiar, I turned my sight.
Forced to stay in discomfort's domain,
I shifted my viewpoint, sought strength to gain.
I balanced the scales, weighed good and bad,
In this tangled web where my heart had been had.
The lessons of emotion, I'd now come to learn,
To channel my feelings, watch them transform.
Caught in a web, lost in the sands of time.
In dreams, I saw shadows, heard whispers of dread,
The news painted visions that filled me with dread.
Facebook's censorship, a veil over my eyes,
A yearning to escape, to where hope still lies.
But I've never been one to retreat and to flee,
Challenges met head-on, that's the essence of me.
Though I may not have answers, nor power to sway,
My heart whispers courage, insists I must stay.
For here, in this space, I've built bonds so dear,
Over a decade, they've grown strong, crystal clear.
Sisters 4 life, who inspired my prose,
Their footprints on my heart, where love forever flows.
My dreams, hopes, and poems, they all reside,
In this digital realm where emotions collide.
My heart, it belongs here, in this cybernetic sea,
A place where I've flourished, where I've chosen to be.
So I remain, with a promise in my hand,
To limit my time and take a firm stand.
For you, my friends, make this journey worthwhile,
With your support and understanding, mile by mile.
In this poetic tale of hope and strife,
I continue my journey, embracing life.
With Facebook as my canvas, I'll paint anew,
A vibrant, positive world, where dreams come true.
