Existence
Resists the truth
Of reality
All that's
Been shown
In this
Instance
Is exactly
What they
Want you
To see
As you
Scroll these
Sensational scenes
And the
Clutches of
Envy
Dig deep
Remember it's
Not all
As it
Seems
You don't
Know what
Sorrow
They keep
A hidden secret
of sorrow
waits to be found
finding out
is the key.
Nice little poem there Nigel, Cheers for that. There is a mystery waiting to be written behind that you know, you built up a bit of suspense....what will the bitter regret end up being?
Thanks for reading Adam, this social media comparison is something that can affect everyone ,I think whether you're young or old, but when people get jealous about someone's perfect life, they forget how staged the images can sometimes be. Digital Detoxing can be good, cut back then come back refreshed!
Thanks For reading Don, glad those lines resonated with you

I have recently had to cut way back on social media. I think the same things that adolescents are susceptible too, so are old men such as myself. Somehow I got sucked onto caring too much about others presentations of themselves and my own in a way that I never did before all this stuff. Great reminder.
Very good Ruth. I liked the opening lines:
