The Future Is Here
I'm
 here with no map
 There's 
 no going back
 To where I'm from
 
 The 
 bus just left
 There's 
 a high rate of theft
 Where I am
 
 But 
 I can deal with anything
 
 (No you can't)
 
 I can deal with most things?
 
 (Uh-uh)
 
 All right I'll admit it!
 
 I'm scared out of my
 mind
 
 Might as well be
 blind
 
 The
 people walk by  me with no recognition
 
 They
 only remember what's in their own repetition
 
 Was I really like them?
 
 Is this what's happened to the 
 race of men
 
 No more earthly ties
 (Time on the internet flies!)
 No more lengthy goodbyes
 (I'll add you as a friend on Facebook!--What's your email?--Do you have Skype?--MSN?--Gmail?--MySpace?--Twitter?)
 
 Quiet!
 
 But really, it's all in my head
 (Did you read what I said?)
 Shh!
 
 The 
 only sound is of typing
 (Are you even listening to what I'm typing?)
 Argh!
 
 Nobody just
 sits and talks
 (We do!)
 You talk?
 (Well,  no but-)
 Talks!
 
 Anymore
 (What a bore)
 
 In the real world there's no emoticons 
 Only faces to depend upon.

17th stanza, third line, last word: it should be writing, not typing.
I wouldn't rhyme typing with typing :P
