The Narcissistic Social

I like to believe I am living the good life,

Of course I am,
I like to believe that no one can have it better,

Of course I do.

In this daily chore of surviving the ‘work pressure,’

When I am not really even working,

I like to believe I have the best job,

The pay doesn’t satisfy me to say the least.

I like to believe the pictures I clicked are so ‘likes-worthy,’

That’s why I add so many filters; Candy, Retricia or DSLR,

It changes my appearances, hides my spots, fixes my blemishes,

Ain’t I perfect? Of course!

People’s advises to me go to the ignore department of my brain registry,

I will do what I want anyway, because I know the best for myself.

I am ignorant of what they think about me,

But I crave their acceptance of my happening social life.

I check-in at every venue which is considered worthy,

Because I want to let them know where I am, what I am doing.

I like how some are really jealous of where I be,

Just reinforcing that I’m in a better place,

I am constantly updating as I do my tasks,

Eating, watching a movie, music, trekking, putting on so many masks!

Of course, I am having the best life,

Where my familial equations are for a toss,

Where I am not in my best-friends’ priorities,

Where commenting has replaced the chats,

Where my plans are all getting cancelled,

Where all I genuinely want is just to be in bed.

But I am living my life in other’s colourful spectacles,

Of course, living the good life.... on social media!

Where 1000+ friends make me decide my lifestyle,

My main 3 I haven’t met in a while!

P.S. Not all of this 'I' is me, but all of you have this tad bit of 'I'. Before updating your next activity on social media, update your personal growth. 

Those who will, will go ahead and like your selfie anyway.
