Death By Social Media

Death By Social Media

you should have seen her facebook
when she found out her instagram had died
her world began to tumblr
the beat of her heart reduced
to a twitter, just a flickr
she couldn't pinterest 
the source of her pain
a dark soundcloud followed
she no longer felt linkedin
didn't write in her livejournal
the netflix of her life, reduced to cobwebs
without a friendster
she felt herself snapchat
she found only the wordpress to write:
mylife is over, there is no one to yelp
then she wrapped a lifeknot
around her bebo
and jumped into myspace
