Who do you turn to when broken you feel?
Sometimes you lack the courage to reveal
Your vulnerabilities and your innermost thoughts
To those who know you well, you do not
Want them to know about your suffering and its extent
You need a neutral ear in order to vent..
*
Since therapy is expensive and difficult to find
The first solution that comes to your mind
Is to confide in the internet, Google should know
How to help you, some strategies it can show
For you to help yourself find a solution
It can offer a path forward, if not a resolution
Of your problems, without criticism or judgment
At the very least, the internet seems a safe place to vent..
*
Your struggle remains solitary, but now the internet knows
In a complicated web of algorithms now reside your woes
The content you now see is filtered for your state of mind
What you see reinforces your perception, it becomes harder to find
Real solutions to your problems, because that may require
A completely different perspective that cannot be acquired
By bouncing your thoughts in the echo chamber of the net
Until you move outside a lasting solution you may not get
*
There is probably nothing that can replace
An empathetic ear, a conversation face-to-face
Look for solutions on the net with wide open eyes
It influences your thoughts in a negative way, more than you realize
Passion...unbridled
