Validation

Searching the world for answers we already know
Feeling important from strangers we don’t even know
Likes we seek and comments too
Fans we want to connect with on a daily basis are in view
Getting our validation from everything else but us
Putting our thoughts and words on a platform so others can rate us

Judging others lives wishing we could have that too
Behind the smiles and lights
The real life shines through
Comparing their situations to our own
If i had their perfect life I would be set too
Not seeing the hours it required in the long run
The setbacks, trials, prayers too
Living a life through a lens
That others feel the need to look through.
Conditioned by the standards that we allowed to be setup
The numbers of likes, comments and follwers are necessary if you want to portray a good life too.
