Shut UP!

I swipe up and look at the screen
All 10.1 inches of it
The dark wallpaper of a destroyed planet
And an astronaut, lying on another
Relaxed, in his spacesuit
Sometimes I wonder what she would be thinking
Would she be relieved?
Why is she relaxing?
Is she thinking of a solution?
Is she just accepting death and enjoying the moments she has
Remembering her family or friends or someone
I don't know, maybe she's just not thinking at all
She's happy, statistically, she's the hottest and the smartest person alive
I would be happy too
Or that crime has now seized to exist in the world
Everyone gets either hell or heaven
If the afterlife is true where would souls find the bodies now?
Is there more life?
Am I god?
I can't seem to get over this thought, I get distracted quickly
I swipe my finger again and after a few taps
I'm scrolling through my feed
Liking photos, feeling the FOMO, contemplating life decisions
With music through Spotify banging through my earphones
Green Day, again,
I guess Spotify should start playing Green Day as soon as I unlock the device
I can't seem to get over Billy Joe Armstrong
Oh how much I'd love to kiss him
Only if that's not counted as pedophilia for him
The guy seems to age backward though really
And the beautifully penned lyrics of the song
"Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are"
I can't seem to get over it
Even though it has been more than 10 years
Oh I got diverted again
I was scrolling, infinite feed
I like the algorithm of infinite feed
Keeps you busy, wastes your time, while at the same time
Makes you feel unworthy and useless post by post slowly
It's killing but much slower, like oxygen
And you're addicted to it, like oxygen
Scrolling through the infinite posts I landed on her
And I being a pro stalker took less than 5 minutes
Stalking her profile, trying to match interests
I saw drums and a Green Day poster
I got an incentive to text now
The only problem is I can't initiate or hold conversations
I can talk indefinitely but conversing is a bit difficult
Both are different you see
So I do what any other person with sense would do
I google ice-breakers (duh)
And did I find the best line in the world!
It said "Headphones in your wish list 50% off"
I had to buy them
Can you imagine Studio quality 50mm drivers at just 1.8K
I certainly can't
If this isn't my luckiest day I don't know which is
Oh the ice breaker yes, no success
But while I was begging mom to get me the new headphones
and explaining why I need new ones because the old ones are 'Not Green Enough'
(It's a valid reason okay) (She Agreed BTW)
I got a notification, her username flashing at the top
Apparently not as pro of a stalker as I thought I was
I liked a photo. 5 years old.
If there is an instant kill self button I wanted to use it then
I still want to but that was like the peak
But apparently, she was the pro stalker because the message read
"I see you're a Fellow Armstrong fan as well. Let me guess, kissing him fantasy?"
I was half surprised by this. Other half still wanting to kill me
And I did what one does in this situations,
Texted my best friend (duh)
He's this weird 5' 11" guy who would give you advice on anything
Or not you, he's reserved for me
Find yourself another
But all my problems are his input statements
And out, comes the solution
He's the algorithm for everything
The Unified Field Theory yes.
Not quite mathematical but he does all right
Actually no he doesn't he's an ass to most people
But he did cry in front of me so
I guess I have a one-up on him
Oh and...
Woah I got diverted again
She says she likes this little quirk though
Especially when we're talking and I get lost
Analyzing a movie or talking about the depth of a song
Listening to green day together
I think she likes me
And the feelings might be mutual
Don't get me wrong I'd still kiss Armstrong any day
I would just give up 100 Armstrong kisses
Just for a conversation with her
After all, I think she's me personified
