Reality is a lovely place
But we need more fucking happiness;
Onboard we travel into this virtual maze
Popping daily pills of the internet.
People seem to blanket their life’s mess
With filters, white-smiles and their radiance
Yet, the backstory seems to be off-place
That we’re all hyper-connectedly lonely, merely craving for solace.
I wonder what would have been
If our distorted presentation
Of the snippets of our glossy-messy life’s amalgamation
Struck us with a realisation
That we are floating in an ocean of our imagination.
Our minds’ make-believe construction.
To seek social validation.
Just to believe our life has a meaning
Determined by some clueless behind the screen.

Haha, how accurately and beautifully put by you ❤️❤️
Love the title as well 😻

You have very well portrayed the sad truth of our society through this post. We all are so busy in showing off a fake perfect life that we no longer care about the real not so perfect life.
