Unsocial Media

She fires off selfies on Instagram

Here’s me not wearing much

Here’s me wearing a little more

Like it, love it, share it please

Words left unwritten

But pleading for attention

He’s connected to Twitter and Facebook

A thousand likes and retweets

Feeling the love

Carried through empty words

And compliments from those

Who don’t matter offline

She posts images, face pouting

Chest out, and hands on hips

As if that’s her best pose

And the likes and compliments stack up

Gaining more followers and friends

So why does she feel so disconnected?

He goes home, flicks on the screen

Types a status to his five thousand friends

They like, they share.

He spots a post saying reach out

If you need help, he does

Nobody reaches back, he dies alone, disconnected
