Validation

 Happening life, write-ups and quotes 

Travel pictures, cool places, social bloke, 

Stories, posts, updates to keep them hooked, 

Drowning in the compliments from every nook. 

False pride, endless validation, 

Messages and celebrations.

But here is the truth behind the veil. 

That falls off every night you go to bed, 

When your pillows get wet, your body shudders, 

Or the mascara is smudged, and words stutter. 

When no one can hear your lonely sobs, 

When you are away from social media mobs.

What really is the value of this image?

The one you put out to the world? 

Where you lose a bit of yourself every day 

Fear your flaws will scare them away. 

Faking is almost an addiction. 

A temporary doorway to happiness, 

Never a permanent solution.
