I Was Twitchin’ When I Should’ve Been Jerkin’

I Was Twitchin’ When I Should’ve Been Jerkin’

Thumb on the screen at a quarter past ten

Shoulda logged off, but I doubled down again

Read one post, then I caught that tone

Next thing I know—I’m yellin’ at a phone

Missed the joke, took the bait

Typed too fast, sealed my fate

Coulda laughed, coulda let it slide

But nope—went live with my wounded pride

I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

Mind on fire, feelings lurkin’

Hit “post” like it owed me rent

Now I’m blocked by folks I never meant

I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

Self-control left the buildin’, workin’

Coulda chilled, coulda gone dark

Now I’m talkin’ to the void in the park

Mute button hit me like a door

Unfollowed me—didn’t even say “no more”

Timeline quiet, echo chamber blues

Arguin’ with ghosts and invisible views

They say “it’s not that deep,” I know

But it felt real heavy in the moment though

One bad take, one sideways crack

Now my notifications ain’t never comin’ back

Coulda touched grass, coulda poured a drink

Instead I refreshed and overthought what they think

I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

Let the algorithm do the hurtin’

Took it personal, made it loud

Now I’m banned from half the crowd

I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

Ego bruised but still smirkin’

Lesson learned (I hope it stuck)

Log off, laugh, and don’t give a—

Block ain’t prison, mute ain’t war

Sometimes it’s just “I can’t hear this anymore”

Everybody fragile, everybody bold

Everybody tweetin’ like they’re ten feet tall and cold

I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

Feelings loud, wisdom lurkin’

Tomorrow I’ll laugh, tonight I’ll cope

With a cold refresh and a little hope

Yeah I was twitchin’ when I should’ve been jerkin’

That blue bird life’ll leave you workin’

Close the app, save your breath

Ain’t worth losin’ sleep over a block and a mess

If you see me muted, don’t you fret

I’m just offline, not upset

Lesson learned, pride still flexin’

See y’all later—

I’m done with X… for like ten minutes.
