Endless Scroll

We keep updating TikTok every day, Chasing views that quickly fade away. Fingers swipe,the hours fly, Laughing once,then asking why. Trends keep changing, faces too, Fifteen seconds,old,then new. Fame feels close,yet far from hand, Built on likes like sinking sand. At the end,what do we gain? A fleeting smile,a tired brain. No lessons learned, no dreams fulfilled, Just time consumed and silence stilled. Entertainment fills the empty space, But purpose hides its quiet face. We scroll again,though deep we know, Not all that shines helps us grow. ~Aashiq
