More Than
By: Tyler Ross
We take it in and accept its stay.
A powerful tool, but not just a tool,
today.
It runs our lives and measures our worth.
So we believe in validation
forgetting our limited time on this Earth.
Counting the numbers like currency
It’s absurd.
All can fall down with as little as one word.
We bully ourselves just as much
as we torment each other.
Ego to the brain, destroying the sane,
smothered by the addiction.
You’d think this was fiction
or SciFi, they way we’re controlled
all by these lies.
Be more pretty, loud, and proud, more fit,
don’t take anymore of this superficial bullshit!
It’s not legit, so quit
while you’re ahead.
Instead of checking out
unaware of what reality has fed.
You’re worth more than a tap on the screen.
You’re worth more even if you aren’t being seen.
