FRIENDS
WITHOUT FACES
We sit and we
type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to
wonder, what this possibly means
With our mouse
we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for
something or someone, as we sit in a daze
We chat with
each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we
do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for
somebody, to type out our name
We want
recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses
and hugs, and sometimes we flirt
In IM's we chat
deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form
friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of
these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on
screen, we can be so bold
Telling our
secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we
share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we
can't see, as though we were blind
The answer is
simple, it is as clear as a bell
We all have our
problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell
real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to
the computer, and those we can trust
Even though it
is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends
Without Faces, and odd little names.
