Facebook-whore

Being a ”good girl”, doing everything right.

No wrongs are accepted, working all night

Cleaning the house until it all look

Perfect, then brag on facebook.

Loving your man, trashing you boss.

Shouting out about your loss.

Private things you share, snippets of a life

Craving sympathy based on a lie.

Wake up little girl and take a good look,

at the pages of your history book.

Covering every inch is worthless triviality,

nothing of importance or immortality.

Face it ”miss perfect” you’re not all that

Though your hair is all shiny, your stomach so flat.

You’re still nothing special, nothing achieved

Just being alive, no ideas conceived.

Your inside as average as the rest of the world

No hidden treasures to be unfurled.

Painfully normal, a hard label you wore

Well, accept this new one, you facebook-whore.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Because we all have a little facebook-whore inside of us.

red now

But thanks:D I produce slowly though, mostly writing when my head is so full of stress that things bubble over. The first verse used to be me. At least until I realized what sort of person I did NOT wanted to be. We all have a little "facebook-whore" in us, I think.


I'm always lying, in fact, I'm lying to you right now.

Thank you :D

I think "the whores" will struggle a bit, but probably find other sites to exhibit themselves. Oh, no! If internet close down I'll be in trouble. Then my students would know how very little knowledge I have(and I would have to go to bank to pay my bills) laugh

enjoyed reading this

it's funny that Facebook. Personally, I have a hard time posting too much personal on that site. I imagine other people are that ways too. Sure makes for SHALLOW relating. I see people get deep once in a while. But it seems poets are the ones who really hang it all out there and get real.

Thank you.

I had fun writing it. I despise the fact that people invent this make-belive version of themselves and broadcasting it as the real thing. Makes me very imaginative about what they are hiding.
