Since when
Did my life become reduced to
glass computer screens and shiny cellphone sheens;
Did a daily stroll outside become a daily scroll online,
And my greatest desires hidden
under dusty books and piles of clothes?
Since when did I look to numbers for gratification
Instead of words,
And since when did I picture what others see
more than focusing the lens inward?
All the while my lifelong dreams slip into childhood fantasy,
Neglected, crushed by the weight of present trivialities,
Waiting to be uncovered.
Till then, I remain a dormant self
Waiting to be uncovered.
