social media platform poem



Social media
why be so controlled
why do i NEED to check my status
why do I need someone to retweet my post
or favourite it.
Why do I need followers
it doesn't matter really how many are following your account
does it make my life better having people watching
analysing my social media profile.

I don't understand the need
to update your status every two seconds
its confusing 
when you don't feel your accomplishments aren't appropriate
for mentioning.

they are just the small things
like getting out of bed, 
or taking medication 
or walking your dog down the road.

the small things
don't seem to matter to ordinary people
they wonder why you cant just make it in the real world

how can you explain to them 
that the social media platform 
is just that 
a platform
a showoff station
it can be used for the good of the people
causes and fundraising
but it can also
be a place of bullying
and social torment for some.

some just find it difficult when their followers disappear,
or others block their tweets,
block them
its not something should take personally
but its hard not to feel some sort of pain.

the real reason for social media
should be to reach out to people
to keep in touch with family and friends
to support them and remain a influence in their lives
and brighten their days

so why do so many give up on those they follow?

and why do some delete their social media profiles and choose to live in the real world
