I claw and drool for social acknowledgement. I’m so blind by the drive, I’m not disgusted by the animal I am and others I admire. Degrading and defacing myself in the process. Leave a compliment, for attention and false exchange of treatment. I hold my phone incapable of moan. This thing. It doesn’t care about me. Neither do the people on it. My family does. But I must find acceptance from my peers. I have to steal their eyes and ears. They do it, so I must too. Throw away all my integrity, of which there is few.

Synthetic Compliments
I claw and drool for social acknowledgement. I’m so blind by the drive, I’m not disgusted by the animal I am and others I admire. Degrading and defacing myself in the process. Leave a compliment, for attention and false exchange of treatment. I hold my phone incapable of moan. This thing. It doesn’t care about me. Neither do the people on it. My family does. But I must find acceptance from my peers. I have to steal their eyes and ears. They do it, so I must too. Throw away all my integrity, of which there is few.
