Social Media

You're afraid to be forgotten.
Worried that if you don't log in,
or update your status
that no one will remember you.
Avoiding the day
that your absence will go unnoticed.
It feels too much like death.
They call this an addiction,
you call it a habit.
Signing on
to feel connected to a disconnected world.
Truth is
you're already where you feared to be--
amongst the land of the walking dead,
because you did more to be remembered
than you do to be unforgettable.
