Behind My Screen..

Boy illuminated by the blue light of a computer monitor

Behind My Screen I sit comfortably and ponder about what to do, about this old technology I have of communication.

Behind My Screen I use MSN, Facebook, Twitter and Skype. Where I socialise with people across the world, and

Behind My Screen I hate you. I will abuse you with most harmful words and feel superior, but

Behind My Screen I fancy you. I will create the most romantic of words expressing my love for you, but you won’t realise it.

Face to Face I will be mute and may smile timidly, even though I came across as eccentric over a text, and

Face to Face I will stutter for words and feel uncomfortable in the awkward silences even though over BBM my replies were instant.

Face to Face I will be quiet, badly groomed and dressed, even though I only tag photos that I look good in, but

Face to Face I wouldn’t know what to do. I take out my phone to pretend I’m popular but but actually I’m nervous only hiding Behind My Screen.
