A Dark Reflection

A Dark Reflection We are all hunters masked by Usernames and Handles We capture the moments that eventually become rambles, In our history of past and prehistoric posts that puncture We yearn for likes and loves this desperate hunger, Snap, Send, Screenshot, Snap, Screenshot, Send, We Filter others criticism and replace with illusions Of the authenticity for that is pure delusion, We change too much for others and our minds have altered Our lack of consistency has been far too relevant, Repost, Retweet, Republish, Retweet, Republish, Repost, The fragment of life caught in a picture is like a pet We use it for laughter and love our needs are completely met, We conceive Stories made of hopeful bliss Alone we are sucked of joy like a dementors kiss, Unfollow, Unfriend, Block, Unfriend, Unfollow, Block, We streak the social media universe with Hashtags and Vines Our time deteriorates forever declined, Although these platforms offer sorrows that are deadly They also bring joy in a harmonious medley, Look, Like, Love, Like, Love, Look, It connects through light boxes around the earth Showing us an unimaginable worth, It links us through the vast and titanic interwebs It brings light and sight while dejection ebbs, Friend, Follow, Forget Friend, Follow, Forget We fathom the magnitude of what it means to be a friend We never meet we never eat we just like to play pretend, Will it ever end Missing links and broken ties our normal obstruction Movie dates and walks in the park will help our construction, We can build a better Story.
