Blog #3: The Spectator — Sonnet
Ripped abs on beach sands, while she holds his hands.
Just double tap and swipe up like always.
More smiles and fine-dining in foreign lands.
If only this was how I spent my days.
Meanwhile, my phone lights up my dark room.
My body sinks deeper into my bed.
It’s my duty to observe and consume
’Til the clock hits twelve and my eyes turn red.
If they can be happy, then why can’t I?
Should I buy fancy clothes and a new car?
Or, be pictured in the dunes of Dubai?
No matter what, happiness still feels far.
Maybe, I should look for answers elsewhere,
Where life’s not within an Instagram square.
