Social Media: Is it the Modern Day Addiction
Social Status
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.

- Social, or Anti-Social Media
Although Facebook and Twitter are a wonderful new form of communication all is not perfect and cyber bullying and miscommunication is a real problem.
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.
What's your social media drug of choice?
