Peer to peer. Amidst our fear.
To connect. To hold our hearts dear.
This we crave; dictating how we behave.

But our tendencies deep seated, to social media we’ve retreated.
Not an idle moment can pass by, Without our minds occupied
*
Afraid to just sit and be
Or if I look lonely, what others will think of me
So I pretend to rush, or seem in a hurry
And in phones our heads we bury
Swipe left. Swipe right. Double click to like.
Mindlessly following the rules of the game,
Ive forgotten my original aim.

All the beautiful people are passing by
And I sit here pretending to be shy
But what would happen… if I dared to say Hi?
