real talk = real struggle

#realtalk this post is taking me too long to write and the wreckage from trying makes my paper look like shiz. Will post the poem after sacrificing it tomorrow during 2nd period as a partial offering to all of the slam gods.

update: the slam gods have accepted my partial offering(I think?)and as a citizen of Paris, I invite all of you slam princes and princesses to take a taste of my feeble offering 

(anti)social media

Power on

Boot up

White screen 

Dark room

An apple a day

keeps the people away.

So don't try to sell me 

on the idea that 

media is social.

I won't be another product on your

commissions list 

Excuse me miss, 

I live in a world where

trying to release all of my anger 

is done best by

ALL CAPSING

CAN YOU HEAR ME YET?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I had to plug my location into google maps just so I could find myself 

Please tell me how hard your life is because your LTE dropped to 3G 

OMG OMG OMG

All while looking at your screen

You say to me

"I tried to slide into her dms, but all she gave me was a 'read' receipt"

she told you she 

forgot to take the pill

you didn't think 

Netflix and chill could

Get that real

But surprise.

Now you're a father

Go tweet about your 

new baby daughter 

submit 140 characters 

to your 263 followers

You tried to connect her through Bluetooth, 

but she wasn't down

With being wireless,

This grind is tireless,

Always calling for your attention

Can you give it a rest for 

Just...

One...

Second.
