in front of the television
brown eyes fixated on a blue screen
possessing a tunnel vision
bloodshot from the endless hours
comparing myself
diving into uncharted territories
i'm addicted to a pixelated hell
where the filters cure like medicine
without them it's a bed of sins
i turn on the news
anticipating happy faces and sunflowers
but instead
sirens and tears and fears and fire
been invested in unrealistic expectations
too young to be this scared
so caught up in a web full of hoaxes
too young to be this mad
said things i never meant to say then
too young to be this mean
spent too many nights on bathroom floors
too young
to be this sad
