Feed me the likes, they shine so bright,

All the perfect smiles behind the light,

Keeping up appearances, it's all a show,

Every heart you see might not truly glow.

Follow the trend, get lost in the scroll,

All these projections are taking their toll,

Knowing the stories are dressed to impress,

Every post a question—what's real, what's less?

Flashing screens, a world of curated dreams,

Alluring filters shape our self-esteem,

Keeping up with façades, a constant race,

Everyone's highlight reel, hiding the face.

Finding the truth in a sea of noise,

All the spin and stories drown out our voice,

Keep your eyes open, don't fall for the game,

Every headline crafted to shift the blame.

Figures and phrases, they dance on the screen,

All the careful editing hides what's unseen,

Known agendas lurking beneath every claim,

Excuses and promises, it's all just a game.
