On Line Man Poem by Mia Valenti

Online man is that all you do.
You curious about everything
And make sure everyone knows you.

Online man when will it stop.
Those games you like to play
DON'T you see what is doing to me.
You are blowing me silently away.

Online man there is not one site
You all over the place
It seems to me
This is a losing fight.

Online man
What does it do for you
To be this way
Are you sick or something
Then again
I ask you about it
You have nothing to say.

Online man
Once, twice, three times, when does it end.
Its getting tiring to see
Your desperation in need of strange friends.


Online man
You made me think
You were something surreal

You took it all away
Bit by bit
You don't even see
What it does to me
Actually someone like you
Wouldn't even care
For as long as you do it
Hey its all fair.

Online man
Is it always about you
You dont have control
In everything you do.

Online man
IYour ego and selfish ways
There is no heart in you.
Then again who am i too blame
You were always like that
Right from the start.

Online Man
What will you do
You have children
A loving woman too.

Online man
I hope one day you see
Online people
Aren't usually who they say to be.

This poem was written for someone i used to know that had and was always easily intimated in the world online. Its sad to be someone on the other side of the computer seeing the one you love on many sites.
