Nice ride, somehow it looks familiar,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owned by many a superstar, Mr and Mrs Jones \u2018round the\ncorner, wasn\u2019t your last one a keeper?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got you from point A to point B quite smoothly, an upgrade\nreally wasn\u2019t necessary,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So why this new toy that won\u2019t appreciate and comes with a\nsecret use-by date?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seems you bought it out of peer pressure, believing it\u2019ll\nmake your image that much sweeter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trends are ever-changing, before you know it it\u2019s out of\nfashion,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody here hating, Friend, but that M.O slapped glittering\non your sleeve,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based your life\u2019s choices and preferences on the actions of\ntotal strangers, it\u2019s a fucked-up way to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Way to surrender your freedom and power, how does it feel to\nbe held prisoner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got you blowing dough on useless shit for show, Struggle\nStreet\u2019s knocking but your dumb ass ain\u2019t knowing it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking paths that ain\u2019t yours \u2018cuz IG deemed your situation\nunexciting, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Came at the expense of your identity, now an amalgamation of\nthose you\u2019d been following,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stars, icons, players and influencers, living enviable\nlives that\u2019ll drive you bonkers, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got a chokehold on the collective\u2019s attention, somehow found\nyourself among them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotta ask yourself some questions, address that proverbial\nwhite elephant,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are your moves dictated by genuine want or fear of others\u2019\njudgment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wastes of space you\u2019d parted ways with paper on, are you\nstill enjoying \u2018em?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many are collecting dust in the shed? Has the sting of\nregret set up camp in your head?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could\u2019ve defied the mob but instead you\u2019re a slave to \u2018em,\nan unwinnable race you\u2019re running, such a life can\u2019t be fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you don\u2019t see it but yours is a major problem,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Letting others dictate choices, how the fuck is that\nliberating?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perfection is but an illusion, the so-called famous, too,\nare flawed, they\u2019re only human so quit revering \u2018em like they\u2019re gods,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of illusions, social media\u2019s rife with \u2018em, images\ncan be doctored and locations manipulated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So-called influencers tauntin\u2019 and cappin\u2019, not to mention\ngaslightin\u2019, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all but most of \u2018em, playing you like a fiddle same as\ntheir other victims,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A better life\u2019s attainable if you play your cards right,\nshuffle the deck where necessary,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Press on forward, to hell with adversity, watch how fast your\nlife\u2019s enhanced, might build you a legacy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A true badass is one that\u2019s original, knows themselves like\nno other,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rejecting white noise and useless chatter, opinions are like\nassholes and everybody\u2019s got \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ditch \u2018em and live your own life, heed the wise words of\nBruce,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShowing off is the fool\u2019s idea of glory,\u201d insecurities and\ndissatisfaction manifesting in attempts at false praises and validation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take away their phones and access to the net and what do you\nget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bunch of entitled fools forced to be civilians,\nill-equipped for what lies ahead,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly they ain\u2019t so enviable, more than likely theirs was\nall an illusion,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forced to start again, abandoned and forgotten, out of sight\nlike the trends they started, how\u2019s that for poetic justice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free yourself from their trap, go on treading your own path,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embrace your true self, flaws and all, your lot ain\u2019t so\nbad,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focus on life\u2019s true calling, scale you some mountains, the\nbest investments you ever had,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indulging what you don\u2019t need for people you don\u2019t need to\nplease, kick \u2018em to the side where they belong, they don\u2019t own you anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
