Glued To My Phone

My Home

The phone is glued to my hand

By the activation of dopamine in my brain

Its screen sign bright in my face

The sunshine I see throughout the day

Wish it came with vitamin D

With all its apps and online media

It's all I need to find my community

To fellowship

To text as much as I please

Love the games I get to play

Even made live-streaming easy

But don't call me, talking ain't my thing

Please don't face time me, there’s nothing to see

But I do enjoy listening to him talk at night

Feel bad when I can’t think to say anything back

Be dry on the phone calls

But my phone is still my home

A distraction at time

But it keeps my mind calm

Give me a chance to have a little fun

Sometimes it puts me in that obsessed mode

Hours and hours scrolling on my phone

They even put streaming apps on it

YouTube, Netflix, and even Xfinity

Of course, I will be on it all night long

Use it for everything, except the original thing it was made for

To call, its not what I use it for

Dang life would be so different without smartphones

Put the phone down!

How come?

Its my safe zone

During awkward moments it calls me home

No its not my idol

I still read my Bible (on the app of course)

The first app I try to open every morning

But I’m still working on it

It's hard when your mind not steady on it

Its hard to delete social media

When people only choose to communicate on it

But I did make my algorithm mostly Christian content

Get a motivational word everytime I get on IG

I could go on and on about this phone

Don’t make being on a phone feel wrong

Yes at times the obsession feels strong

And I can get addicted to this phone

But it keeps my mind from going so far gone

Makes me feel like I’m always at home

Love this damn phone
