Vanity the Modern Ego Trips

This era of the ego,hashtags
and selfies..and me me me...
to the fore,impatience always
knocking on my door.
Instant this,instant that,self
congratulation,superficial self
expression..quickly,quickly..I've 
social media to explore.
Insecurity underlines my every
post, stamped for all to see.
Where Respect..Respect is craven
most..in this world of me..
My thoughts are running wild..Pity
pity me..I've never grown up..
I'm  immature... still just a child.

I really like this! It is nothing but real, raw truth... except me of course lol. I don't do selfies and all the other typical cries for attention. Job well done!
