The Social Media Phenomenon

Part One

Why... why am I following everyone else?

That conveyor belt slowly shifts with the same made up selfie people

Who... who am I to judge?

It's simple... it is what it is

So let me live

In my own bid for social media freedom

To lounge in my blissful queendom

I'm counting on my brain to be uniquely creative

Just out of the fresh ultimate blue

For quickly sought after social media relations

With a high temptation to do what everyone else is doing

An odd spot of intro booty shaking and a greasy food mukbang here and there

It'll save me so much bloody time, effort and energy I swear!

What in the world am I thinking?

Scrub that, I just want to be a fully fledged and original me

With a monster capital M and an eager spirited E

I want to really stand out in this 'liking' fame game

With it really looking like it flows naturally

Somewhat like a poised and graceful ballerina

Dancing effortlessly in my own damn arena!

Wait... I don't want to be relentlessly shaking dat ass in reality?

Where every living sucker follows me!

And gazing with optimum delight

Until my ego takes a flipping tumble

The world is blazing up a trillion views of my flapping underwear?

So I stuggle to correct myself like yeah

Who wants to see a ghastly flashing panda bear

Automatically survival mode kicks in

Right, I have to let go of this fear of being laughed at

And be strangely tickled by my fickle actions

Yet learn by my reactions from my own mistakes

Take what you will from this

Haven't you heard? Everybody is doing it on social media ha ha! ...even Grandma!

But then again only a few will push on through with that uploading strength of sheer genius and repetitive consistency

So the question is which one do I want to be on this free for all platform?

The candid indifferent freak with the unlikely quirky streak

Or take the I know what you did last summer chillin' vibe

Let's see who wins, shall we?

The really real me or my poppin' alter ego?

So hey... my darlings
