They are not your friends


Bare your soul on social networking sites,
What do you want?
Their sympathy?
Their praise?
Their attention?
Set tongues wagging,
Put on a brave face,
Issue your press statement,
Your public relations announcement,
Not how you really feel,
Once you had a circle of friends,
Now you share your highs and lows with
Every tenuous acquaintance in your life,
Waiting for someone to poke their head out of the
Foxhole and allow themselves to be judged,
Let them instant message behind your back,
How annoying you are,
How ridiculous you are,
You violate your privacy willingly,
In this spiteful little world inside your computer screen.
