We went inside today

That’s what we were told

When we were playing outside

Enjoying the nice bright day

Go inside

They all told us

So we did, locked in our rooms

And never to come out

Glued to the computer

They told us, keep looking

Our lives revolve around it

Just keep on clicking

Who is the new face

On the flat of my screen?

I’ve never met then before

But they recognize me

Come sit around the screen

We all gather with glee

Who are all these people?

But I can’t remember

I’m told they are family,

Friends, and all others

They smile at me

But I can’t look at the screen

The screen is now torture

It is my whole life

I can’t live without it

Or else they’ll miss me

I don’t understand

Why I’m locked in my room

Why I can’t see anyone

Without a quick zoom

I want to go outside

And play with my friends

To see the bright sun

And be done with the screen
