Scrolling 'til my eyes grow sore
Staring at the phone screen some more
Funny cat vids, endless debate
Lost in the comments, sealed by fate
Reality fades, a digital state
Is this connection, or is it too late?
But I'm more than filtered selfies
More than likes and retweets boast
Yearning for connection most
With the real, not just the ghosts
Lost in the glow of the phone's sheen
Living life through a screen
This one-sided reality, can't stay serene
But I'm breaking free, gonna be
The real me, authentically
Digital daydream, not what it seems
Time to wake up from these memes
Gonna step outside and find
The world's not just in my mind
Perfect smiles, vacations staged
Behind the scenes, a truth uncaged
Highlight reels, a life engaged
But is it real, or just an image displayed?
Yearning for friendships unafraid
To share my laughter, the tears I've shed
With flaws embraced, not photo shopped
Lost in the glow of the phone's sheen
Living life through a screen
This one-sided reality, can't stay serene
But I'm breaking free, gonna be
The real me, authentically
Digital daydream, not what it seems
Time to wake up from these memes
Gonna step outside and find
The world's not just in my mind
Logging off and stepping out
Into the world without a doubt
Face to face and heart to heart
That's where real connections start
Lost in the glow of the phone's sheen
Living life through a screen
This one-sided reality, can't stay serene
But I'm breaking free, gonna be
The real me, authentically
Digital daydream, not what it seems
Time to wake up from these memes
Gonna step outside and find
The world's not just in my mind
The real world beckons, a brighter day
Embracing the light, come what may
