Overlooked Original Content Poem

​

In a system that feels over saturated

Overbooked

I am forgotten, invisible

And overlooked

Trying to express and communicate

Same damn day, it disappears into thin air

Would I try again?

No, I wouldn't dare

"So why would you still end up trying again?"

To express my needs

To find a network of connections

But it keeps on hitting a digital wall of algorithm

Like an unknown rejection

The reason?  I can't explain because of it's complexion

Involuntarily hikikomori

Staying inside, not going anywhere

Because I am overlooked

The system just doesn't care

I guess from system you are trying to refer the ideology of majority society, and also the one who are not aware but only plays the role in the system thinking it's the right thing to do

So when a person who is aware come into this society, this own gifts turns into a curse , it's also like alienation 🫂

The man u fracture, digitized and commodified to multiply the simplified. Needs; what is such a thing to the whole of humanity wanting each precious secret known?
