Is My Life Trending? Poem by Phil Soar

When Someone says 'It's trending'
And I don't know what they mean
I realise that time has flown
And I'm not part of the scene
I don't use social media
Or rely on twitter feeds
And don't need to be found online
To accommodate my needs

I don't need compensation
For my lack of social skills
I don't need health apps on my phone
To look up all my ills
I just have to accept the fact
The older that I get
That maybe I am not required
To use 'the future' yet

I see the life before me
As a challenge and a game
I know my mind has lagged behind
And will never be the same
But do I need these apps and things
To help me through the day?
All I'll say is that 'I'm Blending in'
And I'm just too old to play!
