On the internet no one knows who you are
you can act differently and not give a single care,
you can make friends, you can have fun,
you can sit and talk with people all the things you've done.

but why should anyone take me seriously,
when all the day, I buffoon jokingly?
putting a pretentious smile upon my stale face,
brief happiness I seek and chase.

Life tangled with messy reality,
seeking refuge with an online personality.
yet the shadow gloom still over the heart,
until the 2 worlds can no longer be told apart.

The seriousness I throw away starts showing online,
the umbra of loneliness begins to show sign.
I must hide all this, it needs to go away
this facade of joyfulness must not sway.

But in the end, my alter ego is still part of the real world,
and sooner or later, it shall be consumed whole.
