This little box we carry
Full of family, friends and
Social media trends
Messages, pictures, texts
Everything at your finger tips
With snaps and apps and
Google maps
But sometimes I just want to
Silence the beeps
Ignore all the tweets
And catch up with sleeps
Just be on my own
Not tied to a phone
But we now live in a world
Where you’re not allowed to be alone
And always have to check your phone
Texting back straight away
Because it can’t possibly wait a day
This is what people expect of me
And it’s not how the world used to be.
