Internet Addiction
Friends and family,
say I've lost my mind,
they even claim,
I lose track of time!
I'm rude, I'm mean,
say things, obscene,
when sitting in front
of my internet screen!
While I don't always agree,
that this really is me....
I guess there's room
for probability!
There are times, I'm
quite alone,at my
home,on my own,
nobody comes
to my home,
nobody calls,
it's like
I'm in a "zone"!
I forget about friends,
I forget about family,
I'm enjoying my "screen time"
and it's more than just
"dabbling"!
And after that,
I'm asleep on the table,
I'm too pooped,not
willing or abled,
to rise up, out of
my chair
to get into bed,
and put my body
in there!
And close my eyes,
give my mind a rest,
get ready for dawn,
with plenty of zest!
But, it's past dawn,
the morning's moved on,
I've been on the screen
too long, it's obscene!
Didn't eat dinner!
didn't eat lunch,
forgot to have a
snack, or even eat
brunch!
Totally involved
with the world on a
screen, won't dare
acknowledge I've
even seen..anyone
near me,trying to
intervene!
So I guess, after some
realization,
I begin to have an
actualization
that ,yes I do, I
really do, have an
addiction,
and that is true!
And letting go will be
a "good call".
to "live again" is better,
than no life at all!
