Algorithm god
<p>I’ve been blessed by the algorithm god, </p><p>He saw my post and gave a nod.</p><p>He fed my face to hungry eyes,</p><p>turned my pain to pixel lies.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve been blessed by the one who rewards consistency,</p><p>not honesty...</p><p>He loves me more when I perform,</p><p>when I fit the trend, not break the norm.</p><p>He blesses those who play the part,</p><p>but never those who show their heart.</p><p>He answers fast...</p><p>ONLY if you perform well.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve been blessed by the algorithm king,</p><p>who crowns the shallow, clips the wings.</p><p>He takes my time, my sleep, my peace,</p><p>yet promises fame that will never increase.</p><p><br/></p><p>I no longer wake to pray, instead... I scroll.</p><p>I feed my faith through a glowing hole.</p><p>I trade my silence for a view,</p><p>and call that “purpose” when it’s through.</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh algorithm god,</p><p>you know my fear;</p><p>that if I stop posting,</p><p>I’ll disappear.</p><p>You know how I crave to be seen</p><p>but not known,</p><p>how I mistake attention for affection.</p><p>You made me believe my existence</p><p>is only as loud as my reach.</p><p><br/></p><p>You whisper, “stay consistent, stay seen.”</p><p>Even when I’m drained,</p><p>even when I’m mean.</p><p>You like my grief when it’s wrapped in grace,</p><p>you love my mask, not my real face.</p><p>You know how I measure worth</p><p>in numbers,</p><p>how I offer my peace</p><p>for a piece of visibility.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve been blessed by the algorithm god... </p><p>He multiplied likes, not peace of mind.</p><p>He gave me reach, then made me blind.</p><p>He made me known, but not defined.</p><p>He multiplied my followers,</p><p>divided my focus,</p><p>subtracted my peace,</p><p>and left me scrolling for salvation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now I pray in captions,</p><p>repent in reels,</p><p>my soul is viral,</p><p>my heart can’t heal.</p><p>I don’t kneel anymore</p><p>I post.</p><p>I don’t fast anymore</p><p>I filter.</p><p>I don’t pray anymore</p><p>I perform.</p><p><br/></p><p>Algorithm God,</p><p>if I stop worshipping you,</p><p>will I still exist?</p><p>Because I wanted to be seen by everyone.. </p><p>But instead, I ended up invisible to me... </p>
