Excessive workload has left my soul destroyed
In a desperate search for something to fill the void
As social media posts I mindlessly scroll through
Against better judgment I get swept into
Meaningless debates, trolling, hateful comments and more
People tearing strangers apart more viciously than before
I was looking to soothe myself, instead I find
I have managed to further distress my mind
Even when from my device I move away
The discomfort caused by such toxicity does stay
In my mind, making it difficult to focus or relax
Scrolling through social media has exacted a heavy tax..
*
Once again I remind myself that the better alternative would be
To stay away from social media, especially
When I am tired, sad or indisposed in any way
Tuck myself in bed and sleep my blues away
