Illusion

All the photos of me smiling All the videos of me exploring It's all just an imaginary world that I allow you to see But none of this is me Im always dressed nicely Addidas and nikes Always well groomed Hair cut beard shaved But none of this is me I got a bachelors degree in science And now I'm pursuing my masters in neuroscience Everyone says they're proud of me But only if they knew None of this is me Inside I'm so simple Deep down I'm so weak But to you I'm so well accomplished You think I've got it all figured out But None of this is me I want to be free I want to feel alive You think I'm so outgoing But truth is I'm kinda shy I don't like people very much And I hardly keep in touch I got a thousand friends on facebook But I know only a bunch I wish I was a bird No I wish I was a fish To fly around like an eagle Or dive into the abyss You'd think I was crazy Or say I've gone mad But If only you knew How much it consumes me inside I show you my life The smiles and the laughs Everything seems so perfect Which makes it so sad None of this is me

This is a reoccurring theme in our world today, especially in Europe and the U.S. Not only do we as a people shun the need and ability to forge and maintain meaningful relationships (or even, thoughts and opinions for that matter)...but, many of us have gotten to the point where we don't even have the capacity for true social interaction because we are so entranced with how we look on Instagram, Facebook, etc. Like you said, we omit the bad things, and don't speak of them...which is dangerous.
