She has been numb
for a long time
Hours and hours spent
doomscrolling the chaos
surrounding every one
and every thing
Like the old saying
“ hitting yourself on your
head because it feels so
good when you stop”
STOP she tells herself
She tries ,Gleefreshing
Scrolling all the happiness
that’s happening in the
world, in someone else’s
world, not her world
One day there is an accident
and her leg is broken
She is shocked awake,
not numbed to her pain,
For a brief period of time
no doomscrolling no
gleefreshing
This is her real world
The present
The now
Will she stay?

Prompt: Reality vs Doomscrolling
From: TP_Poetry
Reality is 24X7 - Doomscrolling is what one can still pause... we need to find our balance and understanding! Good point!
