When you look at a text

Do you think that person means it?

A text is just a text

Not a person saying it in reality

When someone tells you "I love you" or "I care about you"

Maybe they mean it

Maybe they don't

Because you have to wait till they say it to you face-to-face

A text is just a text

You really can't tell what emotions are in it

Were they being sarcastic?

Were they telling the truth?

Did the text grip onto you hard and punch you in the face?

What did it do to you?

When someone tells me they love me,

It's hard to believe

Because I always think no one fucking loves me.

Texts have back stabbed me hard,

Push me, causing me to fall

Then I let this monster called depression take me

Because I'm losing trust in everyone I know

Because I know no one can trust me

I'm an immature girl right?

A soon to be 8th grader shouldn't care about anything right?

They shouldn't care about love, relationships,

They should care about their stupid fucking phone!

Because that holds our texts

I don't want to go back to the texting and social media apps!

There's so much drama

There's too many liars

I can't fucking take it

A text is just a fucking text.

It can lead to so many things.

Think about what you've said to others

And think about what you haven't said

Maybe one day you'll regret sending that "I love you" text

Because you knew you were lying.

Hello beautiful people <3 if you're wondering why it says "updated version" in the title it's because in my other poem collection, "This is what comes from my mind." Has this poem, but shorter. I wanted to add more to it so instead of posting the full poem there I posted it here. If you want you guys can check out my other book, love you all! Thank you for the votes, there's not many but every vote means so much to me. ~Madi
