ON LINE FRIENDS

We sit and type, we stare at our screens
We often wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the pages
like in a maze.
Looking for something or someone as we
sit in a daze.
we chat with each other, some type their woe's
small groups we form, gang up on our foes
Face it my friends, it's like been back in school
we wait for somebody to type out our name, or comment
on a picture we've posted,
people want recognition, Just to know somebody has noticed.
We give kisses and hugs, sometimes we flirt, In private, some of us chat very deeply and form strong bonds,
to reveal we are hurt and damaged goods.
We do form friendships but why we don't know,
In my case some of those friendships have flourished and grown over the years.
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 minds
with those we can't see, yet those who are closer are totally ignorant and blind of what is sitting right in front of them.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a crystal ball
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
we seem to lose the courage to tell those who are closer
or maybe they will never understand. We can't tell them but tell someone we must, so we turn to the computer and to those we can trust.
Even though it's crazy, the truth still remains
They are our friends with out faces and odd little ways
but friends all the same,
Too bad some live so far away.
Over the years I have made some absolute Diamonds as friends, lost a few as well, gone to look over us in the sky above,
For those who dismiss Facebook obviously haven't got friends like mine.
Made some new ones these last few weeks, 3 and they mean the world to me xx
Just like you long timers.
You have saved my life on more than one occasion, the going got tough, I wanted to go, but got talked back from the ledge,
My one wish for the coming end of 2017 is my my beloved friends nothing but good happy times
Some of you, I don't know what i would do with out
