rambling online


Public lives, private lives
These days everyone seems to have two
You have an image you put out there
Share it on facebook, on twitter, foursquare
I've been here and there, everywhere
With people, on my own, on the move
It's just like everyone is running all the time
And when they are standing still
It's just because they're sharing things online.

Complaints, exclamations, quotes
Life changing revelations, pictures of food
We think we know what's going on in everybody's lives
In everybody's heads
But what does a snapshot of a wine glass tell
about my character
Anything but I like to be associated with pictures of wine glasses?

The image we put forward
Tells not who we are, but who we want to be
Who we want to look like, who we want others to believe we are
A performing monkey, for everyone who cares to see
Private lives, public lives
Exposure is not always a good thing
People get cancer from that...
