a smile hides so many secrets,
so much pain,
so many people who always thinks you're the one to blame

whether it be you trapped in a cage society calls school
or at a place set out to be a loving zone
called your home,

but, yet I stay strong and as the day
swings along i acknowledge
the uncertainty and curiosity of knowing who
looks behind the smile I give everyday
and just to let the depression slowly

sway away.

What has the world become?
Over come by the perfect image,
Measuring your value,
By the amount of likes you've got,
Can you not?

Since when do other people determine who you are?
Has world gone that far?
Seeing all these perfect pictures on every social network,
Edited and photoshopped beyond recognition,
Was that really your parents vision?

Stop looking at the world as a template,
Value yourself first and the world will value you.
Social Media...sometimes I wonder what the world would be without you.

Social media,we're so obsessed with you,
How can I think less of you?
So much stress caused by you.
Yet, I'm so impressed by you!*
