Internet Labyrinth

Once upon a dreary night, as I scoured the internet in spite,
Of the hours that had passed me by, in search of something new to try,
A website caught my eye, a platform where the masses lie,
Posting videos of all kinds, a digital wasteland of the mind.
YouTube, it was called, a site where one could be enthralled,
Or driven to the brink of madness, with an endless stream of badness.
I ventured in, with curiosity as my guide,
But soon found myself trapped, with no way to run and hide.
The videos were endless, an abyss of endless scrolling,
My mind numb, my will corroding, my soul slowly rolling,
Into the depths of despair, as I stared and stared,
At the endless stream of clickbait, my senses bared.
I tried to leave, to escape this hell,
But the site had me under its spell,
I was trapped, a prisoner, in this digital abyss,
With no hope of release, no chance of bliss.
The hours turned to days, the days to years,
And still, I remained, consumed by my fears,
Of never leaving this place, this endless stream of videos,
YouTube, the demon that had devoured my soul, my hopes, my goals.
And so, I sit here still, a ghost of who I once was,
Trapped in this nightmare, forever to be the host,
Of my own descent into madness, all thanks to YouTube,
The site that claimed my mind, my will, my everything, forever to be subdued.
