Attention! Attention!
like my recent on Instagram
Rate my filtered pictures, damn,
Social media, a mask, it's all a scam,
A false idea of acceptance that was crammed, into our heads
Feeling worthless over not having enough attention,
like a drug, we stay Comparing each other, shit, think I need an intervention,
Try to get some rehab, delete it all, but still I'm sick with apprehension
"It isn't so bad" we say scrolling endlessly,
"I'm so inspired" we say pointlessly,
I go and draw, paint, create so heavenly,
Relapse
posting anything and everything to "get myself out there"
What's the point? Post all you want I still feel bare,
8 billion people online and only 12 really care,
Technology runs the world around us,
miss the generation where we'd just discuss,
there's so much more to life than the phone I'm writing this on.
