Stuck

trying my best to get up

but the scrolling has me pinned down

sometimes a smile, sometimes a frown

got to get to work

but the clips have me gripped

what will happen next

just one more clip to watch

and one more becomes many more

and the addiction is setting in for sure

this is a lure

how to get out the door

i need a therapist

someone to break the spell

someone to share this burden

someone to simply tell

someone who will not yell

but understand and help

remind me of a wider world

beyond this electronic cell
