Come To Think Of It...
How Long A Way, We've Come Through...
In Our Respective Lives...
~~~
Not Only On The Personal Front...
We've Come Through A Change On The Social Front As Well...
~~~
With A Plethora Of 'Social Networking' Sites Within Our Immediate Reach...
It's Truly Been Like Two Facets Of The Same Coin...
~~~
Just Like...
In Person,
When Conversing With Someone...
You Don't Like Disclosing All Details...
Details Of Situations & People In Your Life...
On The Other Hand...
When Conversing With Family & Friends...
You May Discuss Every Fine Detail...
Of People & Situations In Your Life...
~~~
There Emerges A Thin Line...
In An Individual's Portrayal...
To The World Inside & Outside...
~~~
Much Like How You Behave When You're Alone In A Room...
Or...
When You Are Surrounded By A Group Of People In A Room...
~~~
A Room...
Is A Room!
You...
You're You!
~~~
What Makes The Difference...
Is...
The Occupants Of The Room!
~~~
~~~
There's Two "YOU's" In This World...
The 'Public' You!
And...
The 'Private' You!
And...
Life Comes Full Circle...
When...
The Two "P's" Switch!
~~~
Then, There's Also...
The Concepts...
Of Secrecy...
And...
Of Inviting Undue Judgment...
From People Around You...
~~~
And I Feel,
That's What Makes...
The Two "P's" Switch!
~~~
Because...
~~~
Privacy Is It's Name, It's No Mean A Game...
Reaching Out To My Self - In A One Frame...
Idealizing Who I Am, Whom You See Me As...
Visualizing Who You Could Comprehend Me As...
Affecting My Portrayal, Is A Fine Line Of Privy...
Close - Opening That Small Window, Am I Chivy?
Yet, There It Stands Firmly, Privacy Is Its Name!

The Prompt for June 8 was a 'Free Prompt' provided to all of us, Guest Authors.
