I am Sick of Facebook
Location
You have a notification
Open the notification and the blue banner awakens
Grad Party Invite! Hope you can come
I hit join and press the home button skimming the posts of friends
“I got accepted today!”
“I decided today!”
“Class of 2019!”
I Read.
I have goosebumps.
One for each post
One for fellow student
One for each anxiety.
I’m still waiting.
Waiting on that list
Everyone got a golden ticket
Mine was on paper.
Mine was black and white.
Mine was delivered by a cold electronic email.
No chocolate bar for me.
My mind was racing faster than car
But my denial letter, stepped on the breaks.
Hard.
