"I keep trying to dig past all the posts you share...."

Deeper

I keep trying to dig past
All the posts you share -

I understand you're gifting us
All the pebbles of joy 
You encounter along your day;

But it makes me worry 
That your only joys
Are the ones others post.

I keep trying to dig past
Everyone else’s joy
To find a hint of yours - 

Or whatever other feelings
You're trying to hide.

Please don't hide away
Behind all of our joy

And I will keep my vigil
Lurking behind the “shares”

An archaeologist dusting 
For clues to your well being.
