Beneath our storebought clothes,
\nThe smiles we plaster daily on our faces,
\nAnd the filters available in Instagram,
\nIt’s getting pretty easy to cover up our real feelings, faces, personalities.
\nNow, our friends and followers can see ‘who we are’ by just getting online.
\nThey don’t need to talk to you face to face anymore.
\nIt’s easier to send someone a text than pick up a phone and listen to someone else’s voice.
\nWe all prefer our internet personalities to how we deal with problems in real life.
\nThe internet gives us freedom, anonymity, courage.
\nBut sometimes, we take those traits to the next level,
\nAnd we don’t see all the pain we leave in our wake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
