Life today is about how many screens you can get between your face and the wall
And from this it can only get worse
Always checking my screen like I'm cursed
Cursed with an addiction I can't
reverse
Notifications always beating me to the curb
Cursed with freaking out if it's not in my hand
I think I dont quiet understand
How much anxiety I carry in my head , in my hand,in my purse .

The ugliness and the beauty of words
Is heightened by the things you post .
It might enlighten someone and inspire the birth
Of beautiful thoughts and a feeling of love
Or it could trigger self-loath and hurt
But we don't even care who we touch with our words
The gods looking down like "what has become of the world "

This heavy dependence that's  keeping you from seeing beauty through your own eyes instead of a filtered glance
Always trying to snap a pic or video not giving life a chance
Is a black mirror that keeps so many of us at the bottom conflicted
I'm afraid it can't be beaten
Cause these screens are designed to steal our attention .
