The moon’s in the sky, I’m warm in bed,

Thats when I hear the chime in my head,

‘Go check your tik tok, you might have new views!’

I succumb to my mind. What do I have to lose?

‘Just check for new likes!’ I’d got only a few,

I scrolled through my feed, I was feeling quite blue.

All of these people, drowning in likes,

While I sat there sadly, ignored, out of sight.

‘Just a few likes, that’s all that I need!’

None came for hours, my heart began to bleed.

One little like, ‘quite simple’ you’d say,

But it had never felt further away.

Then the sensible part of my brain took control.

‘Who cares what they think, you’re perfect, and whole!’

I decided I liked this part of my mind.

I pushed aside my phone, and peace did I find.

The likes didn’t matter, right now I was jolly,

I didn’t need to be a Popular Polly!

I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep,

Not counting the views. Counting my sheep!
