You have to wear the right clothes
That reveal a little too much
You have to listen to certain music
That’s just sounds and has no meaning

You have to have at least 300 followers
And make the same stupid duck face at 6 different locations
You have to say made up words
Like swag and piff
Or any other word that comes out of your mouth when you look at a picture

You have to shorten everything
And every sentence must have LOL in it
All your stupid duckface pictures have to have a #
(And don’t forget the stupid smiley face emoji)

Make stupid videos of you falling off a chair
and singing a song about another vegetable
You have to be a “normal” teen

Now, you may wear baggy T-shirts and leggings everyday
You may write your own songs that talk about your dreams

You may only have a few followers,
Mostly friends and family
And you may only post a picture
when something important happens

You may only speak with real words
And really laugh out loud
You may explain a photo
with words instead of symbols
(Not the stupid monkey covering his eyes)

You may make videos
to go with your songs
That last more than 6 seconds

You may be me……
