Social Media: Is it the Modern Day Addiction

Life means more, doesn’t

it dear lord, than to seek

a peace through online

scores?

It’s quite funny what we

read online. What a

strange passion we have

inclined.

I do wonder sometimes

how we all have the time

to sit and scroll through

other people’s lives.

Envious, mostly of what

others have, we feel

disappointed and always

a bit drab.

I realize lately it’s like a

drug, a search for a

happiness that will numb

Gathering friends and

follower's galore; it's

similar to the needle

that sticks out a junkies

arm.

The more we get the

less we feel; our

growth in the real

world just disappears.

We have instead turned

into characters on a

stage that goes through

a zillion different takes

a day.

Cut and action is how

it feels…oh no, did I screw

my last post up with

too much reveal?

Scramble, scramble to

find a way to make that

post go away.

Then, it’s try to create

a normal life, but to

function in the real

world feels like a

sordid plight.

I continue to struggle

to find my strength

to push that button

and deactivate.

If I can, I will surely

receive a much

needed break

back to humanity.
