Distant Lights Poet Free verse

Instagram User

look at my photos, look at my photos, do you like what you see?

i’ve spent hours posing and editing, just to get the perfect shot for instagram, can’t you see?

listen to my stories, listen to my stories, do you hear my voice?

i’m sharing all the highlights of my life, but i’m only sharing the good, 

not the problems or the noise.

notice my followers, notice my followers, do you see how many i have? 

i’m constantly checking and refreshing, desperate for validation and to be seen as mad.

validate my likes, validate my likes, can you see my popularity?

i’m constantly seeking validation, from strangers and friends, my anxiety.

appreciate my content, appreciate my content, do you understand my value?

i’m constantly creating and posting, desperate for attention, it’s my only goal, can’t you see?
