The Demons Of Instagram By: Nisha Hodgins
Oct 28, 2019
your ideal world consists of glitter and mascara
where everything is portrayed to be perfect
red lips and rosy cheeks
one hundred more likes to be worth it
put on a mask just to pose
for a picture to match your theme
look as compelling as the innocence of a child
pretend there still is existence of your self esteem
behind the screen you’re bombarded with tears
you are not in the phantasm you created
surrounded by black and white
you were born in a world you hated
wipe your waterfalls quickly
and hide your scars with a mask
but your heart is breaking
and fixing it is an impossible task
you’ll miss your imaginary world
because you can’t post when you’re gone
sick of portraying a perfect life
you plan to disappear at dawn
walk your last steps
say your last words
it’s time to say goodbye to this imperfect world.
