We spend our days obsessing over another’s perception of us So we filter that perception And wait for a reaction Exchanging pictures and words for validation The value of a thumb is high when you’re seeking approval Yet the affirmation we desire hides amongst jealousy and contempt Because the majority are looking to achieve their own acclaim The process is futile and the result is a facade

In vain
We spend our days obsessing over another’s perception of us So we filter that perception And wait for a reaction Exchanging pictures and words for validation The value of a thumb is high when you’re seeking approval Yet the affirmation we desire hides amongst jealousy and contempt Because the majority are looking to achieve their own acclaim The process is futile and the result is a facade
Social media can be so unhealthy. It’s strange to watch people you know struggle to be someone else.
