Description 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 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.

This could quite easily be deviantART's moto I love the rhyming scheme and it feels so chirpy throughout that I felt like I was reading a very romantic piece - even though I know it's not about that Well done on getting a DLD for it!

It's quite an achievement! Being picked from hundreds, if not thousands, of literature deviations for a DLD And you never know! Life has many twists and turns that noone can predict

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 I can tell very much that you enjoy receiving comments, and by giving them we're also giving you back something

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.

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.

VelCake In reply to namenotrequired [2010-08-10 17:17:23 +0000 UTC]

indeed.

with me is pretty much different, since I watch friends and also people who I never talked to before but are amazing artists, like *laverinne . And also people whose I started watching just for the art but became huge friends of mine, like `hellobaby and *sylphielmetallium .

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

I am flooded as well now. but that's also because I just had to keep them in my inbox for so long.

Breath is the noun, breathe is the verb. So I breathe, or I hold my breath.

But I had no choice because of exams and stuff

That was a really good poem! I can relate to it a lot , I know the feeling far too well It truly is odd... and a little fantastic as well, how we open up so easily online. Nice rhythm too I agree with Namenotrequired on it sometimes sounding a little off, but maybe you intended it that way.
and a !
