Squad Goals

Scrolling through my Snapchat,

Mundane selfies and nails colored matte

It was a normal day

Until I see my friends on display

Hanging out and smiling

Food in their midst, seemingly piling

I lie on my bed with a pounding in my heart

Is this how our breakup will start?

Could they not have called?

I wonder as I lay sprawled

Could they have forgotten about me?

I sense my nearing jealousy and insecurity

I am pretty annoying,

Which to friendships, can be quite destroying

I talk too much I presume

And this leads many conversations to doom

In my self-loathing,

I replayed the story another three times

Reading “squad goals” and my envy continued to chime

I guess goals are achieved without me.

In my self-loathing, I replayed

continued to chime

All the time thinking,

goals must be achieved without me
