Affirmation
Affirmation
Seeking attention
Seeking acknowelegement
Seeking proof of my worth
Truth
Lies
Likes
Who am I?
How many compliments will suffice
To allow me to believe I look nice
Will these emoticons and fleeting comments
fill the ache I feel
How much of this so called affection is even real?
Snapchat
Tinder
This shallow and surfacy pleasure
chances for true relationships does hinder
What if we seek out conversations instead of likes?
Could we heal a million hearts?
Allow a million real friendships to start?
Away from the screen
More than a technology stimulated dream
Life
Love
Friends
Real
I choose this
I want to heal
