#hashtag my life,
shorten it to simple sentences,
and character limits
and finite blocks
of shorthanded text.
Strip my linguistics
from my creatively complex
lexicon,
equate my inability to comprehend
conformity
to the mass desire
to relate.
To someone, to anyone,
[to] find their flawed differences
mirrored in another being’s
abbreviated expression(s) of self.
I am a person,
yet, in words
my relative existence
is only symbols.
