Action
As I sit down to write
The screen screams nothing but cold, bright
No soft feather pen feather soft words on yellowing pages
The yellow pages hold all the names and all the numbers but no one lives at home
Not anymore
We exist in the cyberspace
I like to like your picture but what does it mean?
No one "likes" your personality
Your inner soul remains inner
The exterior spills over onto intangible pages
What can we hold onto?
Babies learn to hold onto iPads before their mother's hand
No emotion behind a game
No emotion behind the eyes of the new generation
Letters on a keyboard, numbers to simplify the extreme universe
Power on
Lights up
No action beyond the screen
Life is more than LED lights
Life is more than the silly status "Like for a 'to be honest'"
No one can say it to their face
We are constantly connected but there is no connection
We can feel the warmth of our computers more than the warmth of the hand we love
Love
We have forgotten what that means
Instead of finding it, we romanticize and fantisize
We will never find it on a Tumblr page
Why don't you tumble into the real world for a change?
Change
Power down
Lights out
Action
