FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES


We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.


We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In PMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
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 mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.


The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, with odd little names.


The following are pictures of some of my friends on-line. I'll add more as I can collect them. People seem to forget that our friends and others on-line ARE real people who DO have faces behind those "odd little names". They also have real emotions and feelings just like you do, so please keep that in mind while on-line chatting and be honest with others.

Run your mouse over top of the pictures to see who's who :)

Poem a friend of mine wrote...
Thank You for sharing this Keith.


When you look for a friend and you look to me.
I will stand by you and for you and
expect you to do the same for me.
I will not judge until I have all of the facts
and ask that you do the same and not stick a knife in my back.
I won't ask for anything more than I give to you.
Courtesy and respect to name just a few.
Trust is as fragile as a flower and beautiful rose.
That when it is nurtured will flourish and grow.
Betrayal are the thorns that get stuck in your nose.
When you are looking for truth and you look to me.
If you don't want to know then please don't ask me.
If I know, I will tell you.
If I don't I won't lie.
I believe in the truth, no matter how painful,
is better than the truth that is hidden behind a lie.
When it comes out then it is a thousand times more painful,
like needles in your eye.
When you are looking for answers and you look to me.
If I know I will tell you.
If I don't I will tell you, but I will help you seek them if they can be found.
If you look for perfection then don't look to me.
Although I strive for it I know it can never be.
My failures are many my successes seem few.
I hope you will remind me if I expect it of you.
When you look for understanding and you look to me.
I will try my best and trust that sometimes you will help me see.
When you look for faith and you look to me.
Although I may not say so "I believe in you".
When you are hurt and feeling the pain.
If I can help, please ask and I will try to
prevent it from ever happening again.
Lies and deceit will destroy this all. Like a pile
of bricks from a crumbled and fallen wall.
Friendship in ruins and torn apart.
Leaving nothing at all but broken hearts.
