welcome to instagram
where perfect life exists,
where number matters the most,
where society's standard be the holiest scripture
welcome to instagram
where you can compare yourself with others
limitlessly, freely, evasively
it's okay to continually feel bad about yourself,
that's a part of this game
don't show your true colors, they won't like it
don't reveal your real life, they won't like it
don't unveil your actual self, they won't like it
we have these in store for you:
fame
prestige
reputation
pride
honor
some more likes and followers, maybe
you can choose how you pay:
waste some money on branded goods
polish your scar with photoshop
hide your flaws behind lipstick and mascara
or just fake it,
make them believe,
because, to be honest,
nothing here is real
you will get some bonuses, too:
anxiety
insecurity
jealousy
frustration
depression
don't take a break. let us feed you.
but sorry, we don't have any free trial
just grab your life jacket
or else, you'll surely drown
in ocean of bewildering algorithm
welcome to instagram
congratulations on getting yourself trapped.
