We go about our lives Hooked to our devices That have become our vices Whilst strolling through streets full of life We scroll through Instagram Feeding us photos of perfect faces, places and bodies What is everyone else doing? Wearing? Eating? Are they more successful than me? Are they having more fun than me? Are they happier than me? It's creating anxiety We judge our lives by the crafted photos they choose to put up The filtered, photoshopped poses with the best lighting Concealing all the flaws Why are we deceiving each other? Distorted reality never looked so pretty Don't be fooled by their followers, likes or happy faces It's not real Why are you trying to escape this beautiful world waiting to be discovered Staring at your LCD screen is making you miss the sun
