advertise my life

i refuse to serve my life to you

on a platter of pixels

for your consumption

dripping down your chin

as if in my own reality show

that nobody asked for

on a treadmill of likes and views

clips of life i give away

to hungry ghosts

in my phone

monetising meaning

for a silent audience

of lost lovers and trolls

acquaintances and lost connections

pressing little circles

for advertisements of life 

they say it’s free

but I am the price
