In the glowing screens, we find our place,
A digital realm where whispers race,
Amongst the likes and hearts that trace,
Connections formed in cyberspace.

Behind the filters, hidden sighs,
A world of masks and crafted lies,
Yet in each share, a truth complies,
A quest for self in others’ eyes.

The scrolling feeds, a river’s flow,
Endless stories, highs, and lows,
In silent echoes, voices grow,
In search of warmth, a longing glow.

But in this web, we must discern,
The balance sought, lessons to learn,
To find the real in screen’s return,
And nurture bonds with true concern.
