We live in a society where love becomes lust
We don't care about how a person feels
We just swipe right on a phone–
And we learn to move on to the next person
We dismiss our feelings quickly–
Because we are too embarrassed by our pride
We make it easy to just walk away
Walking becomes easier than staying
We let physicality become more important than mentality
We allow the body to make choices for us
We learn to destroy the good thing for the bad thing
We learn to like the easy way out
We live in a society where men use women
But, women also use men
We never know anyone's true intentions anymore
Everyone has a mask that will slowly fall off
We have grown accustomed to ghosting
We let this become a part of our dating culture
We don't text, we disappear
We ghost so the person knows were done
We live in a society where people are afraid
We are afraid of rejection
We are afraid of looking dumb
We are afraid of getting hurt
We find someone we like
We learn to find ways to not like them
We let negative thoughts over power our mind
We have a fear of missing out so we let them go
We live in a society where people enjoy the chase
We get a high off the feeling
We love the attention
We love the chase
We can't escape
We are in too deep
We can't change
We just can't…
But… why?
Why must we live this way?
Why do we love the chase?
Why do we not say what we feel?
Why do we ghost people?
Why do we choose lust over love?
But, most importantly…
Why do you think you live in this society….?
