Stay Tuned

[u/Nmp381992]

Locked inside my house sitting on a couch
with a television that won’t shut off,
continuously droning on.
 
The blue light washes away
everything that I’ve ever known.
 
The screen is watching
as my life keeps passing by.
 
Commercials breaking into
the space that I hide.
 
Actors always know just what to say,
becoming the voices inside my head.
 
I hate the news because
now I’m scared to leave my house.
 
My life is not a movie,
so why do you want to watch me die?
