Life Of Social Media
In the virtual realm, we craft our stage,
Dressing to impress, with every calculated gauge,
Selfies abound, a curated delight,
A masquerade of perfection, in the digital light.
The cost of fame, a daily toll we pay,
To maintain the façade, in a never-ending way,
We compromise our purpose, lost in the haze,
Seeking validation, in a sea of digital gaze.
We compete with others, in a never-ending fray,
Wearing labels, showcasing wealth, in a desperate display,
Our beauty's on parade, a commodity to share,
Yet, in this virtual hall of mirrors, we're lost, without a care.
I search for motivation, a spark to ignite,
But find instead a void, a hollow, endless night,
Many live a life of artifice, a carefully crafted lie,
Under pressure's weight, their true selves, they deny.
Social media's grasp, a stranglehold so tight,
Forcing us into darkness, where depression takes flight,
We've forgotten our purpose, our hearts' deepest desire,
In the relentless pursuit, of likes, of followers, we conspire.
Life's now a competition, a never-ending test,
Who dresses better, who drives the fanciest quest,
Who's beautiful, who's light, in a world gone awry,
We've lost ourselves, in the digital sky.
But what's the cost, of this virtual throne?
A life of emptiness, a soul that's overthrown,
We're chasing shadows, fleeting, ephemeral delight,
And in the process, our true selves, we lose sight.
Let's break free from this digital chains,
And find our true selves, in the beauty that remains,
Let's rediscover our purpose, our hearts' deepest fire,
And live a life that's authentic, that's truly ours, that aspires.
For life's not about likes, nor followers' gaze,
But about living true, in every moment's phase,
Let's rise above the noise, and find our inner voice,
And live a life that's real, that's full of heart, that's our choice.
