computer

I'm not a man of fortune

or a man of means

I see my life

on the computer screen

the sky is blue

the grass is green

and everything is fine

I don't go outside

I don't meet with friends

it's happened before

and it's happening again

that feeling I

will never win

is etched upon my mind

why is it so perfect

life on the internet

I used to have hopes and dreams

but lately I forget

I know something will happen

but it hasn't happened yet

and I'm always waiting

real life's a joke

and I am the punchline

point me towards the way

and let's see what I find

the person who I am

is what I want to leave behind

I only want to forget

          it's too damn hard

          being who I am

          if I were you

          I'd finally give a damn

          I find you on my laptop

          I see you on my phone

          I feel fine when I'm online

          this computer is my home
