Original unfluencer,
unfollowers legion.

since 2003.
No one meant no one
maybe for last time.
It took so much
to have nothing.
Unheard, a cry for help
just to say you tried,
lies to yourself
not screensaved.
Isolation more than
clever camera angle,
bottled sadness sold
with low-cut selfie,
every lonelyheart
a half-thought like,
forgetting you win
when you die with least.
