I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA

The lies
The fake
The real
The hate
No one wants my art they only want my face
I hope it’s just my face
I have a face I put on and take off before bed
I feel like im a different person
Then the one in my head
I post so much and get 2 likes on my poetry
Which is my life
I then post my life story
Which is falling apart
And the likes come pouring in

People must love my misery
My birth trauma resurfaces every time i breathe
I try not to run from it because people are born every day
I get anxiety
From all the news
Unfollow people for hours, but that doesn’t help the views
I believe people were never created to know all the hurt in the world at once
It destroys our nervous systems
We were designed to take care of our families and communites
I delete my apps until I’m down to none
I hate social media
M.A.P

I feel your pain. It does seem like deep, personal things are missed in social media while shallow (often stupid) things seem to take center stage. Hugs.

  Yeah I really wish that people would treat social media with love and respect but it’s normally the opposite. And I don’t think our bodies know how to regulate all the information we see there anyway.

    True, I feel like we really can’t cope with some things mentally, like the barrage of the graphic images and information from Palestine lately. That has really affected me personally.

    Yes that is a great exzample, it’s horribly sad and breaks my heart but also there isn’t anything I can do about it and affects my mental health so much that I can barely function some days. Glad to hear I’m not alone.
