Resisting the Scroll

Like wind that blows fervently,

People’s attention comes and goes swiftly.

It seems like they care, but they don’t really.

*

Like thunder, noises magnify randomly.

The social media era creates a virtual reality.

It seems like you have it, then lose it suddenly.

**

Life’s meaning, I care deeply.

Scrolling over the screen shouldn’t be my destiny.

Tomorrow I shall quit, but wait—that won’t be so easy :(
