What’s that you say? This isn’t real? Whatever do you mean?
I get up each day, walk into this room and turn on this machine…
I plop into this universe a place I call my home
In here I live, I make many friends and I am never alone…
You see for me this came along when things looked rather bad
In my real life we had many things to make us very sad
I cannot tell you of many things that are private and in my heart
But when I found my place in this universe, the healing got a start
In here I can walk I can dance I can run, I can be young and I can be carefree
In my ‘real life’ just to get out of bed at times, what an impossible chore for me
I chat, I listen, I build, I make many friends, and I help out others when I can
But, I get much more in return than I ever give in this wonderful universe land
I have heard many say you need a life and one away from this place
I beg to differ, I am happy here, see the smile on my face?
You never know who is living inside that avatar that is talking to you
Could be a doctor, a lawyer, a king or queen with a new friendship waiting to bloom
When you pop in this universe and see the chat, don’t lurk as a lot of us do
Speak up, be heard, help out don’t hide, someone is waiting to be a friend to you.
