I ever intended.
You’ve been told to ‘Look up’
And tears filled your
Eyes as it dawned on
You the addiction was real.
Yet;
That tiny screen is still your entire world.
Emotions have been
Lost and replaced
With emojis.
Look up.
Don’t watch a video about it.
Look up.
I’m speaking to you.
Look up.
I’m the one who’s actually beside you.
Look up.
Look up.
Look up.
The Real world isn’t boring or scary.
Do it for me.
Do it so you don’t actually have your phone surgically detached.
Virtual world shouldn’t be where you live and die.
Come breathe air
And breathe deep.
Lose the obsession
And gain yourself..
