office
to home
living
same life everyday
made
me realize your importance
dear phone!
when
in deep melancholy
from
an utterly boring monotony’
i
cried out for help
i
found no one but you
two
world i twirled into
real
was too real to handle
i
switched to virtual
i
found friends there
in
hundreds now i have
they
confided with me every detail
oh
believe me
i
could tell who is eating what
facebook
it called!!
you
are a magic box
i
can’t take my eyes off you
until
they burn bad
you
are like drug addiction
i
feel helpless without you
and
before i could understand
i
welcomed myself into a world of loners
they
were all like me
staring
at you every single minute
the
insta people
the
twitterati
craving
for more hits on like
more
people to connect
hoping
that would change the world
my
belief on disbelieving real actions
grew
stronger
my
mind stuck to what went viral
and
now
i
can’t differentiate between real and virtual
i am hallucinating
you
are eating my mind
controlling
my life
wish
i could dump you
but
you know all my secrets
you
play programmed art well
modern
world’s smart
hell!
