Hasn’t everything in life become too performative?
Our actual offline lives are now illustrative
Of our lives on social media, perfectly curated
Or vice versa, having subscribers and followers is celebrated
Travel reels, expert advice, creative projects all appear
As performative tools, to be viewed by followers and peers
*
Many of us go through our lives trying to decide
Which facets of our lives to curate and which ones to hide
Everything we know or do well we want to showcase
The unaesthetic parts we leave in their place
*
I see healthcare professionals giving performative advice
On social media- the idea is to counter compelling lies
I’d prefer to get health advice behind closed doors
Yet advice is dispensed through Tik tok videos more and more
*
In a world full of performances, let me break free
My life is authentic, performative it shall not be
Passion...unbridled
