I think this speaks for itself one of my personal favorites

You sit all day in your world of wires and lies
Which email to use
Which person to make cry
Living online instead of being a part of the world
Living in a screen instead of in your home
Wasting away for hours
Letting the fuzz blur it out
Take away the pain
Take away the memories
Take away the reality
You can't hide away in that screen
Wrapped up in a fake life
You will not find happiness
unless you look harder than that
Inside the screen
Behind Iron bars
Whats the different
When life is no longer yours
Trapped inside
Alone at night
Get up and go out
Go ahead and fly
It is not the end just yet
Pretend to be someone else
Pretend your the Queen of it all
But in reality your falling apart
Your losing it all
Close your eyes and cover your ears
Theres nothing more to see here

I know what you're talking about here. I know a few people
like this and I think it's sad. I work online all day, sometimes
my eyes gro so tired and other times I may spend a little
too much time writing too.

It's sad to see people do that to others, it's just wrong. You know
how people are these days. They think the world has to revolve
around them, and when it does they have to keep covering themselves
up with lies.

Sad world we live in. Everyone is afraid to admit who they are,
and stand up for themselves. But yeah I get your picture.
It's a sad one. Thanks for speaking up about this.

A great poem about the real problem of being addicted to the fantasy world online. Clever and well done!

Such a true statement! So many of us live these fantasy lives online. Yes, it is fun to pretend to be someone else, but deep down you are killing yourself. Again, written like a pro :) I'm a fan :)

[Ashly Christen]

How you speak so deeply into the modern age... so many who hide behind the mask of a screen... creating a world to live in... yet dying in their own... I guess I've been there too... when my life becomes too painful.. my soul numb. Teach us all to move on... please, dear poet.

[Ashly Christen]

thank you dear craig, much love!

Indeed humanity upsets me; and most recently in this method. It pains me to know what some people could, would do to others while terrified of being injured themselves.

[Ashly Christen]

truth, and thank you for reading, love seeing you around

A sad fact that many live their life behind the screen... they are scared to be hurt in the real world... I obviously enjoy the computer and internet, but I take it in moderation. Also many chicken bullies hide behind the computer to hurt others.

[Ashly Christen]

everything is good in moderation, just like you can drown in too much of anything, and I cant say ive never lost myself in the online world, but we all know those who go to far, too far to where its sad,

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Very true... even too much of a good thing can be bad for you. They say that those that spend too much time behind the computer become depressed.

[Ashly Christen]

I believe it

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I couldn't sit along enough to be on the computer all day... I enjoy being outside and being active.
