Sonnet

It is true that I know not what I do:
I have no money, and no publicist.
I hope to have some ratings, good and true
and likes on instagram if I persist.

However, when it comes to social things
and of all social things, media most
I act as bound by certain unseen strings
I act as though I am, in fact, a ghost.

I go back to it, every now and then
to build my online presence and my brand.
Ignore it and ignore again, again.
At least I cannot say that I have been banned.

Cruel market's unseen hand, harken to me:
Send me sense, without pressing scrutiny.
