Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok They have us stuck inside a lock Scrolling all day through mindless stuff But no one shows the stuff that is rough Highlights of everyone living a best life Ooo look a new baby, she's becoming a wife New homes, new jobs, just full of life's wins And dont get me started on people on LinkedIn Though it has its pros through education My brain feels fried like vegetation Did you know we spend years of our time Just sat on our phones, it feels like a crime Remember what you see isn't even real It's filtered, edited to make us all feel That people are happy but it is all lies We dont see the heartache, the pain and the cries Sometimes it's best to just turn off your phone Stop with the inspo and becoming a clone Live your life without taking that selfie Live in the moment, it's far more healthy This digital world that we currently live in Is stopping us appreciate who we are within Stop living your life for comments and likes Get outside, enjoy nature and go on long hikes So remember this, keep your head ******* on The online you disappears when you're gone The real you is the one that we'll cherish When one day you will eventually perish

Mindless Scrolling
