IRL
by A. A. Parr
for another A. A.

you
are 20 years young
and unbearably
beautiful so
you live your life out loud in
shareable moments
collect clicks for content
conflate visibility with
being seen

they like you
they feed off of you
they will follow you
anywhere but
you know

they don’t know you
how could they when
you barely know yourself

won’t look in a mirror
without a filter on it
won’t believe your own lies
until they have
5k likes

until
you’re shared so many times
that parts of you begin
to rub off
