IRC

insecure bitches
losers, assholes
letting their fingers do the talking
asl
brb
afk
this is the language that they know
sending pictures via dcc
some are not even their own
connecting with people
halfway across the globe
thousands of miles away
from the corner of a café
isolated from the rest of the world
how ironic
hot babes
cool hunks
sending virtual roses and other stuff
yeah right
and he cannot even get a date in real life
while she’s way too young to drive
how pathetic
just the same, this is the world they’d rather be in
where they can all be whatever they want to be
hot and desirable
smart and cool
no laws, no rules
just a virtual kick in the ass
but you can go back again
and keep on pretending
escape from the reality
of being a nobody
and just be somebody
who, in reality
doesn’t even exist…
