Ambiguity — Social Media

Social Media

A trained movement

Monotonous tapping

Slick, cold glass

Expecting thumbs

 

Mindless, repeated

Pulled up, dragged down

Eye’s fixed

Asphyxiated pupils

 

Stuck in the scroll

Unable to speak

Silent text

Screaming feelings 

Liking the new

Reminiscing on the old

Double taps

Hearts, Claps

 

Routine checks

Distracted at work

Constant contrast

Longing fulfillment

 

Punctual reminders

Saturated in advertisements

Accepted permissions

Navigated thoughts

 

Search the negative

Trusted reviews

Opinions of strangers

Gone before ever arrived

 

Far away from many

Yet close to few

Lost grip on what is real

Choosing to sit 

 

Unable to feel

Can’t forget

Share that snap

Or that funny cat

 

What’s her location?

How many friends?

Am I attractive?

Will I get the chance?

 

Hurt inside

A profile that lied

Always hearing

No privacy

 

Suffer alone

Arms distance away

Feeling left out
