Obsession

We've all been here before.

Obsession

Will they like me?

Do they care?

 

Post … Wait.

No one’s there.

 

1 like, a fan.

But really,

Who cares?

A share!

 

I’m there,

With flair.

Floating

Midair.

 

Oh dear,

Beware.

When I fall,

What despair!

Does it really matter if you are liked or not? I think younger people worry far more about Internet approval than the older generation. And yes they can obsess over it. See it in perspective, the world is a huge place with much going on. This is a bit like a pin prick. It's all about perspective. Topical write which some will relate to.

I am raising daughters. It is so hard to watch them struggle with the pressures of social media! I hope I can help them find some perspective. But I struggle with it too.

I have three grandchildren living with me. I know how hard it is. Two are fine but the middle child has only just started to realise that there is a life away from the Internet and it's good. Breaking the habit takes time. Good luck.

The antisocial media is the biggest joke that modern man has created. Every jackass has an opinion and they're only more than willing to share...if, however, it was intelligent or pithy, it might be worth reading.
Most of what is posted is mundane drivel that people pay far too much attention too.
There should be a warning posted...read at your own peril.

I remember a saying from my school days...believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Your poem is an excellent read...
A good write, Angel
