How do you measure happiness?
With a ruler or a scale to weigh it? Is there a price or level of success? Or your amount of online influence? Is it what you have? Or what you do? Or is it how your public image looks? Are you keeping up? Do you need more? Do your parents even like you anymore? Why aren't you happy like everyone else? Because if that's what happiness looks like And if that's what they're trying to sell, then I don't want a happiness that's superficial Happiness doesn't need to be liked to be valid You could finally discover your life's purpose And still get less likes than someone else's Picture of their dinner and a stupid caption Social media cannot capture how good you are So don't let the likes (or lack thereof) distort how You perceive yourself or your self worth because The truth is that happiness has also been distorted @sabaitide

Saying this might not help
But by saying something Hopefully what was said Will resonate with someone It might not be remembered Exactly what I wrote or said Or what you heard or read But what did you honestly think When you scrolled past me? My interpretation of reality Helps me make the best of things Did you see or feel anything? @sabaitide I thought I knew
All the stars in The night sky Like the stickers On my ceiling that Glowed in the dark Or like the map In the sky when I Was terribly lost Like abstract ideas That I have to Connect the dots I thought I knew All of the stars but Now there's a new Light in my skies Looking out for me And I wonder why @sabaitide |
