The Reality of My Life

If you are unreal

Then so am I

I never feel as if I waste a single day though

For when I am here, writing this

I am talking to people who I cannot see otherwise

I talk to people from Oregon,

Kansas, hours and hours away

We talk just like friends and love eachother the same way

If my life is being wasted talking to friends

Then I do not know anymore where to meet the ends

Between reality and fake

My dreams are no mistake

I meet people every day

I see no unreal about my life now,

There is nothing I can do for you to see it like I do

You are not me, and I am not you

The one thing we cannot be totally alike on.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have been told by numerious people time and time again that I waste my life in front of this computer.  At least 10 people have told me this time and time again.  My feelings are as those written above.  I chose to talk to my friends who I cannot talk to otherwise, and I love it. Sheltered Reality is enough of an outside reality for me.

My father thinks i waste my life away in front of this computer, and he has no problem reminding me of that. But i agree with you... if my life's being wasted by talking with people like you, then i guess i'm guilty. but not at all ashamed.
