    For those who feel sad when people invite you to be their Facebook friend, but then block you from their updates… UNFRIENDED…

    UNFRIENDED

    UNFRIENDED

    I’ve been unwanted before it’s true
    And uninvited a time or two
    Today I’m feeling unusually blue
    I’ve been unfriended by you

    The hourly updates on your activities
    Your joys, your pain, your sensitivities
    All of the parties you have attended
    No, I’ve been unfriended

    I had twenty-nine friends, an old high school buddy,
    A couple of guys from Adult Bible Study,
    Neighbors, and cousins, a high school classmate,
    And then one morning I had sixty-eight.

    The list of your friends: 3000 and growing
    Three thousand folks who think you’re worth knowing
    You’re a popular person, you don’t need me
    You’ve got Carla and Nicholas Sarkozy

    Unfriended, where can I go?
    Back to the people I used to know.
    The women at church, the guys at the bar,
    They could try to unfriend me but I know where they are.

    I offered you friendship when I saw you online
    I thought you’d become a true friend of mine
    You posted a comment, I thought we were close
    But now I am toast.

    I feel like I’m back in my high school cafeteria
    And I get the cold shoulder and I’m sent to Siberia
    And no one will talk to me, nobody, none,
    I once was befriended but now I am Un.

    How could you do it, just delete my name?
    I’m not a left-winger, nor an old flame,
    I’m not a stalker and you’re not a star,
    But now I’ll expose you for the jerk that you are.

    You know it’s inevitable that we will meet
    In real time on an actual street
    I’ll be so cool — OMG — how sweet.
    And I’ll look away as I press delete.

    Unfriended
    Unfriended, boogers on you
    You and all the friends you knew
    Have just been unfriended too
