Hearts of Instagram

You go on Instagram,
Obsessing over your hearts;
A minute passes,
Only one heart shows up.

You look at another profile;
A minute passes,
They already have 10 hearts;
It is the person on your right.

You look at another profile;
A minute passes,
They already have 100 hearts;
It is the person on your left.

You look at another profile;
A minute passes,
They already have 1000 hearts;
It is the person in front of you.

You look at another profile;
A minute passes,
They already have 10000 hearts;
It is the person behind you.

You are surrounded by people
More popular than you;
An outburst threatens to erupt
As jealousy radiates from your eyes.

You think your feelings are justified,
But any display
Will make it worse,
Driving away your tiny fanbase.

You all have the same interests
Worth bonding over;
You shall have your glory;
Be humble and it will come.
