900 Friends

I have 900 friends
online we talk
for hours
I sit in my room alone

I have 900 friends
in my pictures
no one but me
and my bathroom mirror

I have 900 friends
who sent a happy birthday
to the one place
nobody showed up

I have 900 friends
to uphold
my social life
I should stop

I have 900 friends
I don’t know
anyone
that really knows me

I have 900 friends
we still talk
and I can’t stop
sitting in my room alone
