Curtain call
Rotten tomatoes fly at you
while you try to explain
what you really meant.
Comment sections
are not for the weak,
or those who
seek understanding.
I watch your show
every day,
wondering what
emptiness makes you gasp
for air the way you do.
Don’t you realize
the audience left
a long time ago?

That third stanza really captures the essence of this poem and the reality of these keyboard warriors. Great write!
Each stanza conveys a different form of not understanding the act is no longer relevant.

I can relate! (Neurodiverse people are often misunderstood.)
I hope YOUR audience remains!
