Your social media posts on the internet
Live forever, they do not let you forget
The past- your old posts show up in memories
Sometimes it’s from the past a pleasant breeze
You see old pictures and wonder how time has flown
You marvel at how your children have grown..
*
Then there are the old posts that you now find
Extremely cringeworthy, you wonder what was going through your mind
That you wrote something like that for the whole world to see
Now they appear ridiculous, childish or incorrect politically..
*
If you critically evaluate your posts longitudinally
How social media and you yourself have evolved, you would see
What was once innocuous to post may no longer be so
You have grown older, you also do not want the world to know
About everything you do, you are more aware
Of privacy settings, you do not dare
To give too much of yourself away
Like you unknowingly did back in the day
*
You post stuff that appears appropriate now
May be in ten years, you would wonder how
You could have posted something like that indeed
When old posts surface in your social media feed
Passion...unbridled
