Pixels and Poise: My Odyssey in the Digital Realm

By Radhipa Fiona Perera 

Whispers dance, the night is spread.

In shadows deep where dreams unfold,

In the glow of the screen, a digital realm,

Where narratives unfold, shaping the helm.

A woman like me, in pixels immersed,

After a day’s work, media's embrace, a blessing or curse.

 

Through timelines and stories, I stroll with grace,

Shadows linger in the virtual space.

Social media's canvas, a tapestry of faces,

In virtual spaces, connecting in traces.

Words typed in haste, a status update,

Screen time ticking, a relentless mandate.

Scrolling through timelines, a digital stream,

Lost in the glow of a pixelated dream.

In memes and emojis, emotions confined,

Yet, within her, a universe enshrined.

Screen time may echo society's theme,

But within her soul, she's the author of her dream.

Soon enough, embracing the phone,

To the dreamland I have gone.

Gently the media whispers, a digital tune,

In the luminous glow of the digital moon.

 

Morning light meets the smartphone's gaze,

A symphony of notifications plays.

Quickly I wake,

Another day to make.

News unfolds in a digital parade,

Headlines and hashtags in a cascade.

Information floods, a ceaseless flow,

Screen time ticking, a sigh I blow.

 

Yet in this dance, a balance sought,

Between the real and the pixels bought.

Eyes lift from screens to the world outside,

Nature's beauty, a respite, a guide.

Screen time tick, with my phone I cannot part,

Connecting worlds, yet keeping worlds apart.

In the dance of media, my mind sway,

‘bout balancing screen time, to live out the day.
