feed

A wall of how perfect
other lives are.
Non-stop scrolling, endless.
Our days are lingered with
what ifs.
This is my quarantine life.

Hello to the new morning!
What is new with their lives?
Everyone else’s life looks
perfect!
That online seller who looks like
they are earning.
Hey look!
Someone looks good in their
post-quarantine makeover.
Oh. Someone is being
political.
Good point.

What we truly miss is,
while we are envious,
spending time on our feeds,
we have a life ahead of us,
a life not taken due to that feed.

Timelines are different.
The feed is meant to look perfect.
To keep us in it.
Don’t let it eat you up.
Be brave.
Perfection doesn’t exist.
Take care.
