Social Isolation


Because of you my mom doesn't talk to me,

She's too busy pretending to be who she wants to be.

For the words we can't convey,

Cell phones seem to save the day.

 

Texting the one's next to you,

Just so others wouldn't hear you two. 

Cell phones have constant innovation, 

We all use them for communication.

Some people use them to feel like they belong,

But they don't realize it isolated them from the real world all along.

 

I need an approximation;

A calculation;

Why is there so much social isolation?

I'm Michelle, 17-year-old whom graduated high school a year early. I'm looking to start my life as soon as possible, I have a job and I'm getting promoted shortly, but these minimum wage jobs don't seem to pay too well. My parents don't have the money to pay for my college since I'm first generation. They just want me to work and not attend college, but I'm really looking to get a scholarship to get me started and make it far so I'm posting these poems I made a while back.
