Bleed
The screen bleeds light and you hold it closer. Not because it helps because putting it down means sitting with whatever’s underneath. The tap is the flinch. The glow is the wound dressed up as comfort.

Original poem
My screen is bleeding light Tell me it'll be alright I'm smiling, to rip through the pain One more tap, and I'll play it again Drip, drip, drip, the feed scrolls down Keep my head up now Noise floats through the static talking heads wax emphatic Tick tock, time passes on digital clocks, The pressure builds underground Pulling blocks until the tower comes down The Black Slab: a preview of impending collapse And every soul just keeps scrolling past Banking karma like crypto Hubris leads to the crash Algorithms deface the grave of honor's past Drunk on sugar-coated prophesies wrapped in targeted ads And beneath crusted fingertips to the tremors, they fall, at last My screen is bleeding light Tell me it'll be alright
Lyrics
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) I'm smiling, rip through the pain One more tap, and play it again My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) I'm smiling, rip through the pain One more tap, and play it again Drip, drip, the feed scrolls down Keep my head up now (head up now) Noise floats through the static talking heads wax emphatic My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) Tick tock on digital clocks, pressure builds underground Pulling blocks till the tower comes down Each slab a preview to impending collapse And every soul just keeps scrolling past Banking karma like crypto, hubris leads to the crash Algorithms deface the grave of honor's past Drunk on sugar-coated prophesies, wrapped in targeted ads And beneath crusted fingertips, the tremors, at last My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) I'm smiling, rip through the pain One more tap, and play it again Drip, drip, the feed scrolls down Keep my head up now (head up now) Noise floats through the static talking heads wax emphatic My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright) My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light) Tell me it'll be alright (be alright)
