Do you remember life before the internet?
Before MySpace
I could only talk to my friends’ face to face
The only book was the one I held between my hands
And there was no Instagram
Boys would just flash me their dick
In-person
No DM’s
Selfie and hashtag didn’t have a name
If I wanted to play a game
It was on the board and needed four
Players
Which was lame
No escaping from my family
Or my problems
I had to find my own way
To release those endorphins
Before a .com
And before a blog
To learn any values
You watched a sitcom
And prayed that one day
You’ll belong
