The broken Generation.

How many likes will I get on Facebook?

I upload ONE of the 25 selfies that I robotically took.

34 likes on my filter filled look.

ONLY 34 LIKES. What the fuck!!

 

6 notifications is that all. 

I can’t believe no one’s posted on my Facebook wall.

I’m bored and I’ve got no one to FaceTime call. 

I feel lonely online. Emotional downfall. 

 

My Instagram pic got ZERO comments. 

I even used airbrush.. it makes no sense. 

Why don’t people like my content. 

I feel stressed and tense. 

 

Snapchat will make me feel better

SELFIE feeling good in my new leather sweater. 

Who am I kidding, I’m like broken treasure. 

I’m under media pressure. 

 

Feeling fed up and mad. 

Wishing for ‘likes’ I never had. 

I need new people to add.

That’ll stop me from feeling bad

 

THIS WORLD IS MAD. 

People have forgotten how to communicate, it’s sad. 

 

we’re basically robots without even realising.

We’ve created this crazy new ‘standard’ of living. 

But there’s important things missing. 

 

We’re too over privileged our minds can’t deal. 

We absorb overwhelming stress with no rest to heal.

It leads to mental health issues we undoubtedly feel. 

Because this fake world we live in … now feels real. 

 

It’s a scary time to be growing up. 

10 year olds plastered in makeup. 

People brag about hook ups. 

It’s fucked up. 

 

What happened to communication.

Verbal appreciation

Rubbish radio stations.

Meeting in authentic locations. 

Creating genuine relations. 

Having self motivation 

Making real observations. 

 

But I guess we’re living in a new generation.
