I was raised by the internet because By age twelve I had only ever made two real friends Seven states apart, a thousand miles between My dad would say to me "Son you're a candle That's burning at both ends" The ugly kid that I saw in the mirror Never reflected back in computer screens So I could be who I wanted to be Without the fear of being seen I was raised on the world wide web, I felt alone Enough to tell men that I never met I loved them I was just a kid And it never seemed fair That I didn't get to see My parents in a happy marriage While my sister, though I love her Had her father and her mother When they were good partners for each other The lonely boy that I saw in the mirror Never remembered any of his dreams It's hard to focus on your future when Adolescent hope dangles by a string Pathetic boy in the mirror still lives on and he Has big, sad eyes that paralyze me In disbelief that through the tears and years We're still not who he wanted us to be I'm truly sorry to the ones who remember All the times I said I'd be your friend forever Don't know why I had to do it in a way that was cruel Wanted to be a stranger to the insecure teenager that you knew I ripped you out like you were an infected tooth, thought The pain subsided, the whole time I was avoiding the root I still don't know if I've accepted the truth That i'll never retrieve my stolen youth The ugly boy that I saw in the mirror Wept in reflections on my iPhone screen Dropped it from the highest of mountains So it shattered and I could be free The man I see today in the mirror Owes a lot of people and himself an apology Projected lots of things on others to make me happy But it never filled the void within me Within me, within me A mosaic of all of my past identities I thought each new rebirth would patch up the holes But I was still left empty I was a rock in the river of my family Was skipped across and I submerged downstream Had to be a grown man Long before I turned eighteen
