Post-Modern Life

Whine in your wine alone

It's okay to drink

an e-cards worth of pity juice

Just don't tell us why.

Only happiness can apply

An Instagram-filtered pic

photoshopped to remove

insomniac, worry-sac

purple-black bags

Show the world-wide web a happy face

Truth is subjectively

battered down, shunned.

Pretty lies are better:

well maybe not lies.

SOME-one omitted my reality

Life is an edited reality drama.

Cut and pasted,

weighed by ratings,

a thumbs ups or a heart -

defines self-worth and beats down self-love
