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!
