A poetic reminder for distracted days
My Phone
My phone disrupts my imagination
My phone blocks out my concentration
My phone keeps me from graduation
My phone keeps me low and steady hatin
Tick Tock Tick Tock there’s plenty time on the clock
But TikTok yes tikTok has created in me a mental block
Instagram Instagram you too are pretty guilty
For you have made my mind unpure and rather filthy
Youtube oh YouTube what would I do without you
probably many other things
but you’ve distorted my view
My view on love, my view on life
my view on myself, these views aren't right
And don’t think I forgot about you my beloved Pinterest
Though you’re slightly more bearable I get lost in your abyss
Many many other apps are clouding my mind
Just Keeping me stuck and lagging behind
So today I’m taking it back
Back to the old me
Before I lost track
we’re picking up debris
And though I know
it can be hard to let go
What good will I be
if my mind is in control
So I’m going back to books and drawing and nature
Cause this new me is acting like a self loathing hater
Respect for myself doesn’t have to be earned or given
It’s already in me, I just need to listen
Listen to the silence between these four walls
Just listen to the silence and let my mind crawl
Why am I running? There’s so much life to see
Who am I becoming? I’m young wild and free
So lets backtrack
Maybe we should get another degree
Lets get back on track
My phone can not distract me
