"WHAT'S ON THE TIMELINE TODAY?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

Check out her timeline.
Everything looks fine.
She’s on the spotlight.
Her life seems picture-perfectly bright.

Should you give in to your personal envy,
when she’s all you wish to be?
You look at your own life,
your standard of living stuck on ‘survive’.

So what’s classified as ‘fair’?
You don’t even know what’s really ‘there’.
Perhaps she’s just putting on a show.
It’s ‘behind the scene’ that no one really knows.

Welcome to this online circus,
where pictures are digitally-beautified to hide the blues and bruises.
This is our confusing parade,
with each playing along to their own charades.

So what are you going to do?
Are you up for the same thing too?
There are plenty of options
for those aching for more attention and compliments.

It’s up to you to recreate your whole image.
Hey, you can even lie about your age.
Hopefully, you won’t end up feeling restless,
as you slowly and silently lose yourself in the process…
