Underneath My Feet

I can barely take it anymore.

I keep trying to exit

out the back door

but I get bombarded at every corner.

The age of information is

dragging me down,

I’m starting to drown.

I try to shut it out but

how much isolation can I take?

Addicted to the connection

even though it’s filtered and fake.

Always feelin like I’m missing a beat

but in reality nothing is more real

than what’s right in front of me

and underneath my feet.

See, I’m torn because I want to be

informed but at the same time

it’s impossible to tell

the real from the fake,

the opinion from the fact.

This is why we lack

the ability to see from

another person's perspective-

every single issue is competitive.

Always arguing one side or the other,

it's driving me insane!

Inside this twisted messed up game,

yet we all keep on playing

in this place of make believe.

I’m starting to lose my grip,

my fingertips slip

to the OFF position.

Unplugged from the chaos,

suddenly I start to feel at Peace

and I am reminded that nothing is more real

than what’s right in front of me

and what's underneath my feet.
