Misunderstood

Oh, when tech goes down, they call me on the run, “Fix my PC, make the internet fun!” My friends all think I’m the gadget repair crew, Little do they know, I barely get to screw. I'm just a coder, misunderstood,
 Life in code isn't always so good.
 What I do, what they think – it's a comedy show,
 In the world of software, it’s a whole different flow. My mom peeks in, sees the screen aglow, “Playing games again? Oh, son, you gotta grow!” If only she knew about the bugs I slay, It’s like a game, but hey, I’m the one who has to pay. To society, I'm a wizard, a shadow in the net, Hacking through the firewall, a cyber threat. But all I really do is debug and test code, No secret missions, just trying to upload. I'm just a coder, misunderstood, Life in code isn't always so good. What I do, what they think – it's a comedy show, In the world of software, it’s a whole different flow. My boss thinks I’m a gold mine, a treasure so rare, “Just keep coding,” as if cash flows in the air. “Make us a product that’ll break the stock chart!” If only squeezing bugs was as easy as art. I dream in algorithms, theorems so tight, In a world of logic, I battle through the night. Complex problems that I love to chase, Yet most days, it feels like a wild goose chase. But what’s the truth? It's not so grand, I spend my days with a facepalm at hand. A syntax error, a loop gone wild, Welcome to my world, the life of the code’s child. I'm just a coder, misunderstood, Life in code isn't always so good. What I do, what they think – it's a comedy show, In the world of software, it’s a whole different flow. So next time you think it's glamour and fame, Remember, it’s more like an endless game. Puzzles and bugs, that’s where I thrive, In this quirky code life, I somehow survive!
