A World Of Clones

Original Submission by Maryam Bhoja

A World of Clones

And this is your reminder that it is okay to not have it all figured out

And I know that there is a lot to think about

But sometimes all you need to do is let it out

Be different…

In a world of late nights

Be the one to enjoy the early morning brights

From those who are constantly attached to their phones

They all just want to be the same…

a world of clones.

You don’t have to follow the crowd,

break away from the screen, look around.

They scroll so loud yet feel alone,

All they are is lost…

Lost in a world that isn’t their own.

-Maryam Bhoja
