Digital Stage

Scrolling through the feed, a neverending stream Perfectly posed faces, a manufactured dream Bikini filters, angles just right Likes and comments, a validation fight Exposing skin for attention's hold Self-worth measured in stories told Following trends, a neverending race Losing touch with self in this digital space Is there anyone real left to find? Honesty's a ghost we leave behind This curated world, a gilded cage Trading happiness for a digital stage Boys with six-pack abs, flexing for the view Diamonds on their teeth, a facade so new Hustle and grind, the mantra they preach Building empires on a foundation of reach Luxury cars and mansions they boast Chasing a lifestyle at any cost Comments filled with envy, a burning desire For a life that's staged, set the world on fire Is there anyone real left to find? Honesty's a ghost we leave behind This curated world, a gilded cage Trading happiness for a digital stage Lost in the likes, the comments, the shares Missing the moments, the laughter, the cares Disconnecting hearts in the search for online fame Is this progress, or a twisted game? Is there anyone real left to find? Honesty's a ghost we leave behind This curated world, a gilded cage Trading happiness for a digital stage Let's break free from the filter's disguise Find the beauty that lies in our eyes Put down the phone, step into the sun Real connections, where happiness is won
