Cyberspace

It's funny because the internet does a lot for us. So it's hypocritical to say that it is awful because most of us use it everyday. But as we've simplified daily tasks by the internet, I question, should technology and the internet also simplify our daily interactions with other human beings?

The internet provides websites like Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets. Through these sites, we are able to learn about people just by clicking around. You browse around as people's lives become points of interest and entertainment. 

Haven't you noticed how even in group settings people always have their phones out or are checking it regularly? You deprive the people you're with by always having some part of you in cyberspace. The funny thing is, the point of Facebook, Twitter, texting, etc., is to stay connected with your friends, family, etc., right? Then why is it that as you are with them, a part of you is somewhere else or desiring to be? It's such a bad habit. No one really seems to be fully in one place anymore or with one person for that matter. 

It's not the easier road to negate the things that dominate our world today but I think you'll come to find that in the long run, you'll have learned something and have found greater value in learning to cut 
certain things out of your life.

And For You

I am so unworthy and yet you love me the way you do.

I look to you and I am so astounded. You always bring me back and in ways I would have never guessed. For my mom, my dad, and my brother... how can I ever use the right words to describe how deeply grateful and undeserving I am. And your love. It shapes me in every way. You continue to remind me through gestures both big and small who you are and who I am.

I am so unworthy and yet you love me the way you do.

Empty

The sea is full of curiosity. But as you scavenge what do you see
Boats of people with the world at their feet
To think you have it all, but then why do you feel so empty?

The life that is painted before your eyes —
Seems so fulfilling but soon you'll find they are lies
Because a life of chasing turns into a journey gaining nothing.

And in the end what hurts the most, is realizing the majority of people lose hope
Seems as though people only fight for their selfish needs.

But there are the few who change your mind
Whether it be your mother 
Or the very rare genuine people worth your time

Yet people still embark to find, what is it that you desperately seek?
The funny thing about it all is that the world hears your call
And when you've gotten what you've "wanted"
Is that enough to fill your hole?

Or even then, are you left empty.
