Always on my phone

Up all night, led by the glow
My eyes are tearing up
There the clock ticks hour upon hour
How am I to know
How am I to go about my day
Unfeeling and tired
always On my phone
Books, movies, and dreams
All in my eyes
Never asleep
The glow is safe now
Always On my phone
Mom tells me to stop
Worries settle on my home
But I'm led by the glow
Constantly warring and seeking the life
Always On my phone
How can I stop the addiction
To be led to a place unknown
Never settling, always moving, my eyes
Always On my phone
Wishing my life could be the envy of others
Wishing to find my other
Never feeling enough
Always On my phone
I can't put it down
My life is here
On this little device
Forever near me
Always On my phone
How can I trust the real
When the screen is beautiful
And the outside is deadly
How can I move about
Caring for others
No one to care for me
Never truly awake but
Always On my phone
I wish I wasn't
It hurts to be
I must stop myself from being
I must call out to the real but
Stopping is not in me
Halting is pain
How can I be me
Always On my phone
