Lit screens in hand.

Fingers calcified from tapping

our laughter and emotions.

Sending our thoughts through public jungles

of wires and screen-shot pictures

of the elusive species known as the human.

We hide from the masses.

Camoflaging ourselves as if we are chameleons.

Blending in and hiding from society.

Face to face a forced laugh

or gesture of affection is sometimes hard.

We take the easy way.

We put up a front.

You can't see our real emotions.

We won't let you!

"Lol, haha, yep." All sent to replace the truth.

The truth is, is that I just said

what i thought you wanted to hear.

Human contact is part of survival.

No one can hide behind a server forever.

Take a step out into the open,

push away the front,

show your true colors.

Peel your eyes away from the one thing

that holds your attention and

say "hi" to the person right in front of you.
