Feelings heavy on my phone.

Don’t know whether to moan or groan.

Options galore, but always left alone.

Days go by and I’ve been feeling forlorn.

.

Compatibility is calculated,

but true affinity is being infatuated.

Empathy is completely baited

and my own sympathy has truly jaded.

.

Everybody says self-confidence is king,

but that doesn’t matter when you look like the Thing.

A 3 is a 3 unless they have a big ding,

and dating advice is useless like searching on Bing

.

I am suddenly adored by the unwanted

but would rather be executed and taunted.

Got contacted by egregiously flaunted

only to be scammed and disappointedly haunted.

.

Becoming content of being alone,

is when you are truly adorned.

However the moment passes,

and you fall back among the masses.

.

Faced with the 50/50.

Do you just give up and get schwifty?

Or do you venture forward

and become the face of someone’s boredom?

.

With my phone’s lack of activity,

should I explore other apps depravity?

Push notifications feel like a bash to the face,

and dating apps make me feel like I’m losing this race.

A starving writer from LA who aspires to be plagiarized one day. I like to write about academic pieces that identifies philosophy and psychology in pop culture, and sometimes random fun pieces that interests me or the algorithm!
