Was It Even Worth It?
By: Tyler Ross
We take it in and accept its stay.
A powerful tool, but just a tool,
okay?
It runs our lives and measures our worth.
So we believe in the validation
forgetting our limited time on this Earth.
Counting the numbers like currency
It’s absurd.
Depressed from 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 this addiction.
You’d think this was fiction.
Or a junky’s depiction,
the way we’re controlled
by these lies.
Be pretty, loud, and proud, more fit,
less wit and more superficial bullshit!
Heads lost in the clouds.
It’s not legit, so quit
while you’re ahead.
Instead of checking out
unaware of what reality has fed.
A life logged in
consuming significant amounts of time.
One day real eyes will visualize real lies.
Word to the wise before your soul dies.
You’re worth more than a tap on the screen.
You’re worth more even if you aren’t being seen.
You’re worth more than the amount of friends you’ve got.
You’re worth more than
all this distraction has taught.
You’re worth it, and that’s a hell of a lot.
