Discarded starbucks cups Hollow centres Empty vessels Selfie sticks and insta refreshingÂ
Obsession for the likes Taking selfishness to new heights Please love me This screen is all I need
Three hundred photos later Finally happy with the result Maybe strangers double tap Or I might delete and feel deflated
Why do it to ourselves? Mental torture at it’s best We only become plagued Consumed and obsessed
It’s all a paradox anyway Fake smiles and gravy trains Log off, shut down, deactivate There’s too much negativity here to assimilateÂ
What will you miss? The dead silence The compulsion The pout of your lips?
Fat shaming, thin shaming The gloom is palpable Argumentative incels And the loss of everything rational
Anyway I can’t tell you what to do I’m just words on a screen Just another thing to scroll through Not a cure, nor the vaccine
Waste your time for all I care Plenty of dog memes to share Maybe you’ll get harassed by a troll too Or maybe in the end that troll is you
