Social Media

Constantly seeking out validation, You don’t have to know me, But I wanna be your favourite. I want you to like me so much, I hate it. Share posts or tap to follow, Get blocked and deleted, such a hard pill to swallow, The lives are so full but inside they are hollow, Love it and like it and give it a mention, Can’t stand social media but love the attention!!! Fakes, liars, people who cheat, This holiday, that holiday and Turkey white teeth. Ooh look at my kid, are they just the best? Na mate, can’t ya just sit down and give it a rest? Look at us. Aren’t we happy? Plastering on smiles whilst changing the nappies, Decked out in fresh designer clothes, Whether they’re real or not you don’t have to know, It’s never real it’s all just for show, Mortgages and bills, Never ending queues at the supermarket tills, And when petrol prices go down we all get a thrill, Get a TikTok on, Think of the likes, Scrolling through profiles of people you despise, Cursing yourself and your sad little life, Getting so frustrated you can’t help but cry, Laid on the seatee wanting to die, Can’t help but think “I want that to be mine”, Whilst wanting nothing to do with it at the same time, “Have you seen this on Facebook?” “No I don’t go on it much.” “But there’s a whole world you can access with your eyes or a touch” Phone in hand and foot on clutch, Send a Snapchat whilst driving cos they miss it so much, Yet here we are again, They blank you in person but online you are a friends, And your ex has changed their profile picture again, Hours of scrolling, When does it end?
