The screen lit with, twitter, Instagram, Facebook

She doesn’t realize that she is hooked

Hooked on a line that someone’s fishing

Fishing for pain, it always starts with a simple phrase.

“You are ugly and unloved!”

The keyboard is wet within seconds of reading it

The pain doesn’t stop there, message after message

“Why do you bother living, just go die?”

“People have always hated you”

“People will NEVER love you”.

Why do you stay online?

When it causes you so much hurt

Why do you struggle alone?

When so many would help

Why do you look?

When you know it's going to hurt.

They are everywhere she looks,

On her twitter and Facebook feed

Mocking her every move

Pushing her down when

She finally gets the strength to get up.

Suddenly another message box appears

She hovers over not wanting to open it

Finally, she gains the courage

The unknown message opens

“We all love you!”

Her face relaxes

Her eyes dance with a new light

She smiles as if for the first time

She stares at the screen

Like she can’t look away

Suddenly the laptop screen goes black

And she leaves with a new bounce in her step.

They never will light again with Instagram, Facebook or even twitter.
