\"waiting<\/a>
\nComputer computer
\nwhat do you say?
\nI stare at your face
\nall of my day
\nWith my online friends
\nI want to play
\nbut right now it seems
\nthey’ve all gone away
\n<\/p>\n

This flickering screen
\nthat bathes me in light
\nmakes it so I don’t know
\nif it’s day or it’s night
\nEngaged in arguments
\nthat have no known end
\nand millions of e-mails
\nI read, write, and send<\/p>\n

Staring at YouTube,
\nTikTok, and chat
\nI can do this buck naked
\nor in a tinfoil hat
\nPosting phone pics
\nin an unending stream
\nFriend me and find out
\njust what I meme<\/p>\n

I check my email
\nrefresh the boards
\nI want to LOL
\nI want to cross swords
\nbut nothing is happening
\nI’m feeling ignored
\nI’m click click click clicking
\nbut where’s my reward?<\/p>\n

Now where, I say where
\nyes, where could they be?
\nAre they all asleep
\nor at the movies?
\nWhy would they leave me
\nhave I not made it clear?
\nDon’t they all know
\nI’m so very bored here?<\/p>\n

So please respond now
\nlogin, sign on
\nCome back inside
\nright now off your lawn
\nI’ve fresh memes to share
\nand more pics from my phone
\nJust please, don’t point out
\nthat I’m still quite alone.<\/p>\n
