selfies i’ll never post

welcome to my life

my camera roll is the host

i scroll through it, looking at selfies i’ll never post

you see...

i hate social media, but i hate myself the most

step 1. open camera roll

step 2. scroll

step 3. pretend your life is in control

meanwhile i’m looking at selfies i’ll never post

i have to keep up appearances or i’ll turn into a ghost

so i’ll continue to brag and boost

suffering from an irrational fear that they’ll rag and roast

“wait, how’s my hair?”

“yes, i care”

“oh, what should i wear?”

suffering from an irrational fear

so i stop and stare

before i crop and share

selfies i’ll never post

scrolling...

i hate social media

it’s so...

controlling

but i hate myself the most

i’m frowning

because i’m drowning

in all these selfies i’ll never post

...
