Scrolling through life

Midnight glow, phone in hand
Thumb-scrolling through a digital land
✨ new post from @bestie
Heart racing, tap to see

DMs blowing up, group chat is lit 🔥
FOMO kicks in, can’t miss a bit
Selfie game strong, filters on fleek
IRL me? Different every week

Swipe, tap, double-tap, repeat
Online life feels bittersweet
#livingmybestlife (or so it seems)
Reality blurs at the screen’s seams

Likes roll in, dopamine rush
Notifications, a constant crush
“Left on read” – the silent dread
Overthinking every word unsaid

TFW your crush likes your post 😍
But IRL, you’re practically a ghost
Memes and trends, inside jokes fly
Real laughs or just keyboard “lol“s? sigh

Eyes burning, clock strikes three
Is this app controlling me?
FOMO fades to digital fatigue
Real or fake? It’s all so vague

Put the phone down, take a breath
Touch grass, remember what’s left
True friends, beyond the blue light’s haze
Waiting to share actual, offline days

Ping! Another message chimes
Pick it up one last time
@bestie: “u up? let’s talk”
Sometimes, connection is worth the scroll
