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
