Friends Without Faces

This Poem was first sent to me when I first arrived online and got into the chatrooms and the more I am in them... especially now that I spend alot of time in PAL TALK where families and freindships are formed so easily.
The more time I spend there the more this seems so true.
I want to thank all of you on msn, yahoo, icq, pal talk for touching me and my family with these online friendships.>

Friends Without Faces
"A poem about our need to share our problems with others even people we do not known and have never seen"

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 flirt,
In IMs 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 'puter,
and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy,
the truth still remains,
They are Friends Without Faces,
and odd little names.
