Social Media Rap

100 likes for my profile face
Another century on the latest craze

I have an app for everything I do
Posting, sharing without a clue

Virtual frnds vast and new
But to call, I barely name a few..

Old batch mates have gone to Greece,
I'm still broke, god help me please!

Every night I scroll my way down
Besties marriage is the 'talk of the town'

Blink on screen 'hey wassup?'
'Dude, I'm in a meeting. Will catch u up?'

And I scroll the screen again
LOL-ing ROFL-ing with a face so plain

Hashtags, instalikes, instapics and tweet
Pics not good, edit or delete

Privacy, who cares?
All I want is shares

I don’t care about real time fun
I am busy giving +1

Going through a break-up, chill man!!
Post a sad song, gain sympathy if you can

Put an end to dating fright
On Tinder, swipe left or right

For more complex problems
I have Google and Wikipedia
I don’t just exist, I practically live
Rocking is my life on social media

If I bare my soul - She Says

She says...

If I bare my soul to you

Would you still find me kind?

The bitter truths I say

The tears on a rainy day

Will you still hold my hand and make me stay?

Or would you want to walk away?

If I bare my soul to you

Will you promise not to make my cry?

For the lessons I have learnt

Make it harder for me to try

So many possibilities that the mind never stops

I reassure myself; still the doubt seems to pop

If I bare my soul to you

Will U still be you?

And will I still be me?

Will we go down once again or set each other free?

One day, when your moonlit dreams

Meet my sunshine eyes

When there will no more ‘what ifs’

And no more ‘whys’

When we leave behind the swarm

I will weep in your arms

Then gently you may whisper a thing or two,

And I will bare my soul to you

And I will bare my soul to you!!

If I bare my soul - He Says

He says -

If I bare my soul to you
Will you still find it beautiful?
For there are scars
Scars that didn't kill me
But made me strong
Scars that remind me
Of my missteps, of my wrongs

If I bare my soul to you
Will you still care?
For there are emotions
That are related to you
Which might make you uncomfortable
Emotions so strong and fickle
That make me so unstable

If I bare my soul to you
You'll still be around
This I know with all my heart
But things won't be the same
And this I know from start
So I suppress like you do
And one day we'll open up,
Talk about it all & start it new
