Everything on the gram
Everyone follows me on the gram
My daily life
My happiness
My sadness
Everyone knows
Every minute spent on the gram
Every few seconds in and out of the gram
desperately checking for likes
for a record breaking post
Scrolling through the gram
Feeling left out
Feeling envious
of the life of others
The one online right now stays anonymous
wears a mask
becomes daring and overconfident
But does she dare to look at herself in the mirror
recognise her true self
without validation from others
without the filters
She is finally her?

so timely..!
once we were trapped
by societal or cultural
parameter limitations
of unsaid, do's and dont's
imbued in our choices, tapestry..
now, we click an app
and subject ourselves
to tyrannical opinions of our worth, willingly..
that ever-present, regression
in our strive for progression..
(a great message and write
thanks for sharing)
Yes, I had a phase of oversharing on the platform, private account but I accepted friends of my friends. Everything was on there and kind of revolved around it I guess. Suddenly felt uncomfortable of that so I deleted the account. Thank you 😀
