Raised by screens and blue light,
Since long ago.
All day and all night,
They have watched me grow.

In this cyber worlds, I often hide,
The internet consumed my soul.
I'd say it was a joyous ride,
But it really is my life that they stole.

A world of jokes and viral trends,
In forums, in chat, and YouTube or Twitch's glow.
Where the pixels of my screen were my friends,
I learned and grew and began to know.

From minecraft worlds to tiktok'S sway,
Now I'm older, I look and see,
I haven't seen it all but I've clicked away,
This is the internets deep mark on me.
