Social Media
Scroll ,scroll, scroll
Lost in a digital world
Time pass away
And I am wasting my day
Like, comment, share, subscribe!
Press the Bell Icon
Tempting empty affirmation
In a world of endless feeds
my thoughts slowly recede
I am connected to my device
When my real life is paying its price
In this social world
friends become pixels on the screen
News ,memes, Posts
But what I really get
From this constant entertainment
As I’m wasting my time
In this online world
And neglecting my own family and friends
So I just unplug and disconnect
Trying to control my mind
And living in the moment
Before social steal my precious moments.
