Modern day love

Modern day love

A Poem by OscarMann
"

How does social media influence love and self-love?

"

People took pictures of each other
Just to prove that they loved one another
Just to prove that they really existed


People take pictures of themselves
Just to prove that they’re happy with themselves
Just to prove that they’re really existing


So they filter their faults, like their Instagram photos
And they summarize all that is good in a sentence or two
And they practice their smiles as if it is worthwhile
To try to like life just to get a few likes


And the only thing that is left to be real
Are the things that are real and that people feel
They shouldn’t be sharing, thinking it’s scary
To actually share what they feel is too real
