The stupidity of it all just drives me insane.
Looking at the window everything is plain.
No matter what time of day the outside is empty.
Everyone attached to their phone like there is no remedy.
Yet i shouldn't be the one talking because i am the same.
Believing all the others to stay on the phone if not its plain out lame.
I can't bare to see the one seeing ourselves self destruct.
The horrid images of everyone in a flux.
These inventions were meant to help yet people are breaking.
Im starting to believe these aren't the actual remedies to our making.
Just step out once and you will see there is more than just a plain screen.
Yet you're so attached to those bloody inventions your mind shuts it out in just a scene.
slowly taking ahold like a predator and its prey.
Maybe we are all doomed as if i need to pray.
These gorgeous and extraordinary electronics are consuming us.
Turning our backs on each other.
I made this mistake of being lured into the temptations of my phone.
I blocked out my family until i become alone.
Even my own grandmother i betrayed.
We simply just stopped talking, yet i didn't even give a say.
Till the day her cable became unplugged.
It was too late for me to tell her i loved her dearly.
Yet this phone is still consuming internally.
Yet this little box, fitting in your hand shows you something extraordinary.
It crushes your insides, without a strand of reassurance.
So many things i missed, Birthdays, holidays, death, marriage and birth.
Yet none of these occurred to me.
While i sat in my room, the darkness consumes me.
I never left my cave.
As that small stream of light that i endure in me.
I never moved, not the even slightest.
Yet everything has a price to pay.
Being consumed by the pure joy of a game, i lost what's important to me.
Now as i try more and more to pull free, i still remember that i can't take back what already given.
Now, out of my left eye i can't see, just a haze and a blurr.
I can no longer take back what has been given.
My eyesight was something i need the most.
Now the doctor just says, "Wear these glasses if not this will get worse."
As i still struggle to be able to see, i have a hard time driving and being able to read.
From books to menus.
My phone still has the better of me.
