My phone consumes my time and does not give it back.
A modern day convenience that forces me to lack.
Why have the world in the palm of your hand, if it diffuses your focus and derails your plans?
Not trying to throw the baby out with the bath.
Simply seeking balance and a smarter path.
If smart phones were designed to be a tool.
Why do I feel less smart and more like a fool?
Like a TV remote, I scroll through stations, as my calendar chimes with notifications.
Do this, do that, get out and have fun.
It tells me what to do but I get less done.
This week I decided to confront my phone.
You’re supposed to make things right, but you always do me wrong.
My phone replied to me in a sarcastic tone.
How dare you imply that I do you wrong? You keep me awake late at night.
You run me down and care nothing about my plight.
You misplace me often and then get mad. While you’re busy freaking out, I am actually glad.
At least when I am lost I can get some rest.
You don’t give me frequent updates so I can function at my best.
My storage is always filled with photos of your life.
Which leaves me low on storage so I don’t act right.
You complain about me to others, pass me off to toddlers…
You call yourself upset when I have grounds to be bothered.
You expect me to be user-friendly but you are the worst kind of friend.
This toxic codependency must come to an end.
Allow me to give you a small word of advice.
I am not a human, I am an android device.
Instead of using me, upgrade your life.
