Singularity of Attention

The video uploaded, my voice off-key,

liquid courage from the bottle set free.

Bright screen illuminating the shadows I cast,

comments like fireflies, flickering fast.

Some laughed, some clapped, a few just mocked,

and yet in that chaos, my spirit unlocked.

I twirled in my shower, a star for a day,

underneath the guise, I wished I could stay.

For a moment, I soared, felt the warmth of the light,

a performer in life’s most unguarded sight.

But the laughter died down, like smoke in the air,

and silence returned, leaving me bare.
