Social media.
When you hear the word snapchat or Instagram,
Do you think likes and videos?
Do you think friends are the numbers on the screen?
Do you think all those hearts mean they actually love you, oh no I'm sorry I mean 'like' you?
Social media,
Does not affect you,
But it affects the person right next to you.
Social media,
Is social anxiety, social self harm.
You post your problems and you wait for the hearts to fill up your screen.
Social media,
Is a social drug, it makes you addicted.
And you want more.
Social media,
Steals your identity.
Social media,
Blocks the haters but behind the screen your still crying.
Today you post lies,
And tomorrow that one person dies.
Social media is a toxic way for you to get to know people.
The internet lies, people lie, and behind the screen you lie too.
Welcome to social media,
Welcome to cyber bullying,
Welcome to self doubt,
Welcome to being human and listening to the cries of the nobodies.
But hi social media is not your friend and your friends aren't your followers.
