Samples
Unsocial Media She fires off selfies on Instagram Here’s me not wearing much Here’s me wearing a little more Like it, love it, share it please Words left unwritten But pleading for attention He’s connected to Twitter and Facebook A thousand likes and retweets Feeling the love Carried through empty words And compliments from those Who don’t matter offline She posts images, face pouting Chest out, and hands on hips As if that’s her best pose And the likes and compliments stack up Gaining more followers and friends So why does she feel so disconnected? He goes home, flicks on the screen Types a status to his five thousand friends They like, they share. He spots a post saying reach out If you need help, he does Nobody reaches back, he dies alone, disconnected
