Entitled: Millennials Anonymous
Posted by ashleekarin
Bottoms up.
~*~
Tilt the hour glass
of the World Wide Web back
and watch your time
slip right through the cracks.
~*~
It’s a
socially
acceptable
addiction.
~*~
It’s like bringing a
bottle of whiskey
to the office or the bedroom.
~*~
Do they like my status?
Did they love my photo?
Would you swipe right?
~*~
Right?
~*~
It’s like write or die.
But I don’t mean novels.
~*~
I mean catchy
155 character phrases
that will get you
retweeted.
~*~
It’s repeated:
“Entitled.”
The most connected
disconnection.
“Millennials.”
The lost generation.
~*~
Instafamous.
Instaconnection.
Instagratification.
~*~
Instadepressed.
Instasuicide-rates-on-the-rise.
But it’s all lies.
~*~
There is so much
pain and loneliness inside.
And social media
is the disguise
~*~
Why didn’t you snap me back?
I saw you read my chat.
It really isn’t all that.
~*~
Well now that you’re trending…
Trendy.
Why didn’t you friend me?
~*~
Dogsnaps.
Dadsnaps.
Naked girl snaps.
~*~
Screen shot.
Unwanted eyes.
Did you see that snap she sent last night?
Privacy has no where to hide.
~*~
Hello @username.
Hashtag-bff.
Hashtag-when-was-the-last-time-we-actually-hung-out.
Hashtag-k-thanks-bye.
~*~
The most followers is linked
to the least amount of friends.
~*~
Don’t pretend.
~*~
That S.M.S. is really an S.O.S.
And when is the last time you really
L.O.L’d?
~*~
Time to update your
calling card
And your tag line.
Put up a really sexy pout.
Tinder out.
