Listen to poem:

Many Associates Yet Alone

Isn't it funny how you can be surrounded by many people but feel so alone
It appears you have a social life because you're always checking your phone 
But could it be an addiction to living life through the photos of others
Feeling an overwhelming sense of joy when seeing emotions by lovers
People talk with you but never think to include you
But post photos of their good time for you to get a view
Or can you imagine being invited out of pity but not talked to by no one
You start wondering if the date you had with yourself would've been better fun
You would never beg to fit in because that would crush your dignity 
It would lead to people pleasing and being what they want you to be
Fooling around on social media makes you think you have alot of friends
But the truth is that it's a social window with you on the outside looking in
You feel as though you're popular because you're known by every clique
But every weekend you're having trouble finding someone to hang with
They acknowledge your existence when their broke or having a problem
But where are they when you're having issues and need help solving them
Having all these people around honestly is mentally entertaining
But at the end of the day you're still feeling alone is all im saying
