Trapped Under A Spell
Never comprehending what is happening, disregarding the grim truth. Death rates high, bankrupting self - esteem. An endless train running over all hopes, holding the world hostage. The gazing light of the phone shining on your face, urging, “ Keep watching me. Don't go outside. Inside is more exciting than being in the fresh air, playing freely! ” Addictive social media. Scrolling hour after hour, this will be the last lying and lying to yourself:
This video will make me popular. Hide under the effect of filters. Nobody will see the hurt traumatizing me. They will believe it; nothing will stop it. You must come out of the shadows.
Stop it yourself. Accept the truth!
