Social Media Puppets

I'm just trying to play my part to fit into society.
Fooling myself thinking that by getting likes,
pokes, and followings, that they are inspiring to be me.
 
All the while they are conspiring against me.
Plotting to see the real me for all my flaws and insecurities.
Hoping that this breakaway mask that's covered in smiles and laughs,
would fall apart so they can finally have something to point at and laugh.
 
Wishing that I'll show my weaknesses,
So they can use hate as their greatest strength,
And prove that all I done was irrelevant.
 
But I guess I'll continue along with my jokes, challenges and songs,
and take their verbal punches and hide my bruises, so that I don't feel quite alone,
or until this mask that I wear finally cracks  
and I start firing back with my own verbal attacks.
 
Because we are all just people and there's not really anyone to blame,  
other then the social medias we use for making use puppets in a on going game.
