How Many Likes Did You Get?

People will care
I will show them what I ate
People will care
I will tell them about my lousy date
People will care
I will post and get my validation
People will care
What about so and so and so and so who get so much attention?

If I share they will care
If I have something to show, the public needs to know
How many likes did you get?
How many views?
Did you read, take time out for yourself today, or did you rush to please others?
What did you do for you?

If I just make myself known
My number of followers will increasingly grow
If I just show them what they want to see
Be the opportunist
The person they want me to be

People will care if I accept their friend and follow requests
People will care
I will only show them my best
People will care as long as I post everyday
People will care
If I have to post again, I might throw my phone away

People will care
If I share my life, release all doubts
Maybe this time I will be a part of the social media in crowd
People will care
They want me to opt in
But why when I log off, do I feel depressed, not myself, and a tad stupid?

If I share, they will care
If I post they will notice
Why am I starting to feel like all of this a popularity contest?
People will care
But I feel like I am back in high school
The last thing I care about is trying to be cool

People will care
So, why do I feel like it is all a competition?
A stage, an opportunity for self-reinvention
People will care
They may like, follow, or share
If it helps bring people together
I promise they will care

People will care
I promise they most certainly do
People will care
But first you must care about YOU
