Distractions
Our lives have become
a series of distractions –
we turn to social media
for the friendships we crave,
we use dating apps
to fulfill the love we lust for,
we watch shows
to avoid what is occurring in the world
We block our vision with devices
to convince our mind we are satisfied,
we create paper towns
to fill our lives
when they are only 2-D facades
hiding our vast emptiness
But we accept it,
rather than take action
to make a difference
