'social' Media

We all want to be liked To have people see The version of ourselves We choose to be And say, yeah That's someone I admire I aspire to be like We all want someone To look back on The snapshots we've accrued Over years of holidays, Boozy nights, And picture perfect food And say, look Here's someone who got things sussed We all want someone To validate our lives To comment that we're doing just fine You're great You're pretty Your smart Well, I guess that's a good start We all want someone To click that damn thumb And validate the effort Of keeping the mask on

Brilliantly penned Ellie - its all about wanting to be 'accepted' and I particularly love that final stanza. I don't do FB Ellie, it great for other's who want to let people know what they are up to especially if their families are far away, but its not for me:-) hugs jan xx

A very beautiful written poem, social media has now become a part of our daily lives, no matter what you do, you ll find yourself posting it so that people could know, as today s Saturday, my school holiday and fb is block for today s day, I honestly don t have anything to do, so it really has become a good part of our lives
