Internet Junkie

Member since 2004 · Posted 26 Jul 2005 · 4 comments

Nothing more than An Internet Junkie Claiming oblivion As my refuge. Addicted to the pixels That dance before my eyes Forever craving one more minute Another instant to be lost Within such emptiness. Too diffident to delve Into the real world Finding solace amidst Infinite cyber-space. Feeding off the emissions Of those unknown: Serial killers, rapists, terrorists...? Pouring my heart out To such random people Whom at my discretion Forever disappear With the click of a button. And I call out to You: Security Net! so weakly strung I beg of you, Don’t fail me now! I live through your lifelessness And should you break, So shall I Cutting off, the weakest ties.

Hey, you're right. It IS so much better than reality.

The last four lines ring of something beyond the screen, I like that, links, ties, bonds, slavery!
Not in a kinked out way, but deeper.
Cudos lady.
