I'm a shadow on the wall

watching everyone walk by without a care in the world

Eyes glued to their LCD screens

Click,

click,

click.

Scrolling down

Reading one post after another 

Has it ever occurred to you

that our lives

revolve around a matrix of coded numbers and letters

It's not real

but ironically

everything from photos, videos, status updates,

check-ins, relationship updates, friend requests,

They all end up being saved

because if we never had it, then we'd forget

when's his or her birthday

where is that event going to be at

Who's going to be there

Our brains have stopped storing the small details

that make a difference in a friendship

because we have things that can remind us all the time

Why

have we become so withdrawn

Why

are we not living anymore?
