The Vicious Cycle of Comment Section

I pose,

I post,

I feel pretty,

I feel delight.

Then the cycle starts,

the hurricane of people's opinions,

the whirlpool of expectations.

Oh you look fat,

you look ugly,

oh you look sad.

Those emoticons keep making me shiver.

This and that and what and why,

so many questions inside my head.

I pose,

I post,

I feel hideous,

I feel anxious.

What if I am not good enough?

What if I look bad?

What if it's not the picture but me,

getting all the terrifying reacts?

I pose,

I post,

I delete,

I get scared.
