Social Media

Semaj Porter 1987 (United States)



Social media, what a joke
Some people live for likes chasing the idea of being the next top IG model.
All the while lonely and depressed and cant stop sipping from that bottle.

You tell yourself if you could just get 500k followers  then you would know your worth.

You would no longer search sifting through your DMs looking for the one man that doesn't seek to ravage you physically, all the while not knowing your impeccable capabilities.

But you too stuck in your mind...If I could just go viral.
Just off one thread then just maybe then you could have peace in your head.

F*ck that wouldn't you rather be dead.
Then to continuously seek validation of your own values from those around you?

These people are not your friends!  They just hoppin on the next big trend and when that one falls off they gonna be gone on the next one hoppin again.
