I exist because I think I do
Not independently of you
I am what you see
I am what I feel
This much is true in the world that is real
But in cyberspace
I can dictate who to be
I'm in control of me
Virtual me

Yeah is it sad that I was easily able to read it?

I would probably say the abbreviated language typically associated with internet messaging indicates a connection to the virtual world, or an expression of belonging to such a world. It also suggests that whereas in the real world we are defined by our characteristics or social constraints, in the virtual world we have complete control of our identity and can shape ourselves in whatever way we want to; indicates varying perceptions of belonging and contrasting notions of identity. Repetition of the first person and juxtaposition with second person shows the strong sense of self - especially with the emphatic placement of I at the start of multiple lines. The use of rhyme creates a sense of balance. etc.

Connection with the land is already given. So just something about the focal point of the bare foot, the natural elements of the photo i.e. the sand, and how the feet are framed by those natural elements/sinking of the foot into the sand indicating one's identity being shaped by surrounding elements of nature/the connection with the land.
