What would we do
Without the screens
that we are constantly glued to
What would we do
Without the recognition
that we get from social media
What would we do
Without the network
of lies that we rely on
to comfort us when we're down
What would we do
Without the platforms
that we use to edit our lives
to make it look better
to cover up the darkness
and shine as bright as we can
even if the darkness will only grow
when we ignore it
