Intoxicating Instagram MAG
May 21, 2019
The dim light shines as you put on your mask
Endlessly envying others you seek
Every facade leaving us all to ask
Why must real life be unbearably bleak
All the staged times to capture the rare
Fake images to have as a disguise
Ones that were truly never even there
Without our goals reached we capsize
You’re lucky if you leave unaffected
Most become a stalker or self-obsessed
Try and lie you’re just staying connected
With that phony life just making us stressed
We still love mindlessly scrolling for hours
Oh Instagram we are so devoured
