As I sit behind this screen
not always interpreting what you mean
Always wanting to be here with you all
not knowing that I might take the fall
You think you know me, but do you
Do you know what I go through each day
do you feel my sorrows and my pain
I am real...can't you see
Please remember to "see" me
I am here

I come to chat almost everyday
finding a friend to help me through my day
looking for a way to find the "real" me
wondering if that is what you see
I hide here, don't you know
thinking it is a better place to go
Looking and waiting for my turn
sometime in life I will learn

I want to share with you
and you share with me too
But what am I thinking?
...do you really want to listen?
To you I am just a name
another player in this game
a person is not what you see
just some words on your screen
I have feelings, just like you
I'm sorry that my being here
might bother you
You'd think after hurting people once or twice
that maybe, just maybe you could be nice
Think first before you say what you say
I might not be here another day
Your words can cut like a thousand knives
taking away my time and your life
The pain I have won't go away
So I sit here through this everyday
my shoes are too heavy for me
do you want to walk in them?
I am here for you, are you here for me?
Time goes on, but it might not for me
You can go on, can I?

Please remember that I Am Here
