#Instagrammed

My urge for attention,

Sometimes cloud me with suppression,

That perfect click for adulation,

My ultimate reason for depression.

I try every possibility,

But goes in vain nothing left in my repository!

Those long hours of isolation,

That uncluttered wait for the reaction.

That separation from the world,

Search for uniqueness from the herd!

Causing me unbearable strangulation,

Still, my persuasion continues with constant

Recapitulation!

Beloved no longer required,

Only virtual friends are welcome, everyone

Else makes me tired!

I have silence in their presence,

No efforts from them resemble any reverence!

I am addicted to this virtual reality,

My ambitions have subsided; life has

Become sedentary!

My Insta story capture all my imagination,

I evade company only this addiction provides

Invigoration!

Not me; many are sailing in the same boat,

Do not blame me, several are wearing the

Same coat!

Relations, nature, friendship, and creativity

All have taken back seat,

Only posts matter, my existence search for their

Validatory treat!

I stopped treasuring inside, only outward appearance

seems celebratory!

My Instagram provides constant solace, parents and

Siblings have become supplementary!

My freedom looks far off with caged feasibility,

I want godly relief, enough of this life adultery!

Youth like me surrendered to this Insta hegemony,

We need a savior inside and outside for very much

Needed harmony!

It is never too late as said by the learned missionary,

Hence, let me take this pledge and free myself from this

Instagram's sanctuary!
