how social media is ruining my mental health
The perfect words to describe the perfect situation
The likes coming in and affirming what I want to believe
I have the perfect life.
Sitting and checking
Waiting and comparing
My last post to your last post
A highlight reel trying to compete for attention
It's always depressing to see you with all the attention
Instead of a friendship, all I see is competition
I want to rise above and feel the love of your likes
Nothing matters except did my post do better then anothers
This unhealthy comparison
Your highlight reel to behind the scenes of my life
Depression overwhelms thinking I will never be as happy as you
Not seeing the true colors of life I fall to the belief I'll never be good enough
This is the world we live in
Make believe
Always connected but not together
Social media reels of unhealthy expectations
What is our choice?
Become irrelevant or live in comparison?
Just fighting for one more like on my social media
Please like this post so I can feel a bit of joy today!

It seriously is a competition for likes, views and shares! And it's an addiction! Loved your poem!
