Narcissists Are Taking Control

by northernpoet

My timeline is filled With self indulgent selfies Searching for gratification And self satisfaction Need to get an instant reaction Some social media traction There's no time for distraction From this digital attraction You can't get enough Of the interaction 1,000 poses in your camera roll Narcissists are taking control It doesn't matter What the time Come wind, rain Snow or shine Just make sure You look devine Lick your lips You're looking fine Flip the camera And strike a pose Making sure Everybody knows Here's your next Digital daily dose Does it really matter Which fucking filter you chose? I feel like I've lost my soul Narcissists are taking control The bathroom Is the perfect spot Take your picture Before you Photoshop Bunny ears And a rainbow smile Frogs legs And a crocodile Snapping away Well all the while You could have been Down the Curry Mile Instead you're out there On your own Sat at home On your fucking phone Sharing pictures With people you don't know You'll end up on the fucking dole Narcissists are taking control 1,000 poses in your camera roll Mirror selfies And online trolls Constantly searching To find your soul There's no way out Of this black hole Just one more post On your way home Narcissists are taking control
