HIDING ON THE INTERNET

by Fred Aiken

hiding in my corner of the internet
looks like i’m not dealing with my problems,
or at least that’s what my therapist would say,
if i had one,
but i like to think that my thoughts give me 
self-improving advice to handle destructive ideas
meant to look harmless,
but, like swallowed broken glass from candy,
not all voices are meant to be heard,
or come across as enjoyable
