Reel Life Crisis: When Wi-Fi Becomes Your Best Friend

A funny yet eye-opening poem about our addiction to screens, reels, and the endless scroll — and why real life still deserves a little more attention.

📱“Reel-ity Check!” — A Funny Poem on Internet Overload 🌐

In the kingdom of Wi-Fi, we all wear a crown,

Scrolling and swiping, lying upside down.

Eyes on the screen, heart full of memes,

Living our lives in Instagram dreams.

TikTok teaches how to cook with flair,

But we forgot how to boil water—beware!

Reels on "how to get rich overnight,"

Meanwhile, our fridge cries every night.

Snapchat streaks longer than real connections,

Yet we ghost people in all directions.

Dancing in filters, lipsync in fame,

But forget our grandma’s real name!

We laugh at cats and strangers in pain,

Forget it’s monsoon—go dance in the rain!

We double tap quotes on self-love and Zen,

Then forget to look at trees again.

YouTube’s got gurus, all wise and fit,

But we snack with chips as we watch and sit.

Google says “go touch some grass,”

We say, “After one more story pass!”

Reels tell us to meditate and chill,

But 2 hours later… we’re watching a duck in a mill.

Facebook drama, and Reddit fights,

We forget stars and quiet nights.

Let’s pause the Wi-Fi, just for a while,

Look at the sky, maybe walk a mile.

Call your friend, play with your pup,

Or drink some chai in a real teacup.

Because one day, the battery will die,

And no charger will bring back time gone by.

So scroll a bit less, live a bit more,

Real life, my friend, has better decor.
