Lurking

I have become one of them

Sitting alone in my room

Scrolling through social media feeds

Reading poetry and prose

Admiring pretty pictures

Laughing at terrible puns

Catching up on gossip and news

But never liking nor commenting

It feels almost as though I am stood

Rather awkwardly

On the edge of a conversation

Listening intently

To people I barely even know

Offering nothing

I have become one of them

And I like it ☺
