This poem is presented in its rough draft form for the PAD 2023 challenge and will be revised.
"How to Die on Social Media in 4 Steps"
One: Assume everyone actually cares
About the food you ate
The stairs you had to walk
Or that you are having a bad day
Two: Try to feel loved with each icon
That fills in on the screen
Rely on your ego to be fed
Be ready for the hunger to stay
Three: Smile in every reply
Even on the hard days
Your eyes have to shine
Remember your life is on display
Four: Hold your phone at all times
Notifications are all you need to feel
Those chimes will send chills
Better than reality you’ll say.
Poetic Form: Nonce
