Unfinished Poem TW for Sa and desensitization due to the internet- Staring at the static on the tv is a feeling so unfamiliar for me. I didn’t grow up with blurry shows interrupted by commercials on a box tv. I grew up with 1080p. The worst things the world had to offer, clear as day on the small portable screen shoved in my face at 6. The gore and horrors of the uncensored internet, all at my small fingertips. By 8 I learned what rape and murder was. By 10 I didn’t flinch at the words ‘famous creator exposed for grooming a minor’ or ‘celebrity’s dark secret unleashed, had this national sensation couple really been abusive all along?’ By 11 I knew everyone around me was bad somehow, maybe it was the neighbor on drugs or the r local business owner being prosecuted for murder. But I don’t know what the real world is like. I don’t see the videos on my phone that show mass murders in schools or genocides across the oceans. I was given the entire world in my hands at 6, but I couldn’t possibly know what my own emotions are. You hate my phone, I hate it too. Bud let’s not forget who it I was given it by. It was easier for you to let me watch my tablet so you could cook. But I watched war happen on my screen while you assumed I was watching children’s shows I watched murder and rape and abuse cases on my phone at 12, because that was simply what the world of limitless information you had given me force fed me. The world is cruel, I know that much, but it’s not my fault I’m desensitized to it.
