Surrounded by vultures
Pretentious pretenses flooding my feed.
Circles of doom urging me to try.
To see everyone's fake lives.
Fake friends, and an over- abundance of the night life.

They pretend to care until you share.
They claim to pray, but never think of you again for the rest of the day.
'Inspirational' quotes in your face.
"Everything's going to be okay"
I'd say fuck you to your face if I could.
But our relationship never started on foot.

Digitalized lies masquerading as friendships.
I'll like yours and you'll like mine.
See?
'Close friends' in the flip of a dime.

The moment you begin to live your true life.
The vultures complain.
They peck at you with their knives.
Each critique, leaving you more vulnerable.
Maybe I should...

just stay with the flock.
Forget my dreams of art.
Let my wings turn grey and have my face scowl.
Then the pecking will stop.
I will be accepted.
My dreams left to rot.
