Description
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screensWe 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 IMs 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, and odd little names.

It'd be nice if it was, but i doubt it would get that noticed on DA...

It's quite an achievement! Being picked from hundreds, if not thousands, of literature deviations for a DLD

I agree.
I think there are only so many thankyou's i can give 'faceplants keyboard'

That's because it's an easy-to-relate-to piece, and appeals to a wide audience

Yeah, i know... just i feel bad if i don't reply to people. Thankyou though, its really, i don't know, can't explain very well, but it makes me happy to know someone has read, or looked at something i've made or written, and have related to it. Almost moved them maybe, or make them take it internally and mirror it onto themselves. Even though i never meet these people who comment on what i've done, it's nice to know for 5 minutes maximum, someone today or yesterday, that i may have added something to them.
Get what i mean?

Absolutely, and you should cherish those moments when someone connects with you through your writing - as this is the epitome of what relative literature is all about

This is a great text. I thoroughly enyoed the phrasing and rhyme. But most of all I think it is true to the core.

I would have this ammount if I didn't unwatch all the group's deviations...so I just receive the works posted by the 784 people I watch. Awesome.

But yours aren't 90% lit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, but you like Lit, so what?
besides, I can spend hours only looking at a single pic if I really love it, like I did with this one . Ffff, I love Lune-chan's works;A;

I do. But they take a lot longer to get through.
Oh yeah, that is awesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So I have a helluva lot of work to do still since I want to comment on as many as possible.
I don't. I mostly watch friends, really. And some of them are great artists and some of them just aren't as awesome yet.

I get enough deviations already from just friends and groups.

I tend to watch way too much people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I easily watch enough people to keep me from going bored
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I watched 243 I never felt bored.
Now that I watch 785, though, I don't even have time to breath with the daily flood of journals and artworks

Breath is the noun, breathe is the verb.
