Some people say
That those I meet online
Will lead me astray
And are far from fine

Some people think
That those friends
Don't hold a real link
They are fake in the end

So I ask those people
"Why can't I imagine
a world without them?"
I have a lot of online friends I cherish. Never met them face to face, but that will never matter.

Gray sky above
Rain hitting the stones
Lost is the love
That warmed my bones

Wind swirling around
Leaves go up in flight
In this storm I found
My reason to fight

Snow is now falling
The cold wakes me
To a life worth living
One where I'm free

The sun is shining
The clouds up higher
Dreams are brimming
Passion on fire
The weather in Illinois changes too much

Just when we think
Life is on our side
We lose control

Off the rails we go
Into the inky blackness
Our body takes a toll

The tunnel closes up
And we can't see light
Adrift is our soul

We grasp at the emptiness
For anything to guide us
Something to make us whole

The only things that can help
Are ourselves
Only we can achieve our goal

Our life is our train
Our friends the rails
And our passion the coal

So it is up to us
To get back on track
And let our wheels roll

Life took our control
So we push forward
To take back what it stole

It's easy to say
No one understands me
When I don't even explain

It's easy to feel
The world breaking around me
When I don't even try to fix it

It's easy to see
What's wrong
When I close my eyes to what's right

It's easy to hear
You can't do it
When I tell myself that

It's hard to believe
Someone can love me
When I can't love them back
Not a cry for help. Just had more stuff to add to my other poem. This one is more focused on friendships.

Dust to dust
We rise then fall

Hour to hour
We live then die

Mountain to mountain
We move then stop

Feeling to feeling
We smile then frown

The end is not what's sad
Life is not what's happy
How each happens
Is what matters

It's the to
The journey
That moves us

It's the then
The in between
That defines us

If we're angels in life
We get to live with them
In heaven with no strife
To life eternal, we come

In life what I did sadly
Wasn't what made an angel
I did what made me happy
In the end fate was cruel

Continue what I'm doing
And I'd be sent to hell
My sins began accruing
But my soul I won't sell

Those I love, act the same
So we are not perfect
To win heaven's game
Our beliefs we must forfeit

How can heaven be so great
If my friends can't follow
I'd rather have hell as my fate
Than go to heaven hollow

I'm here counting
seconds, minutes, hours...

So much I forget to make the days count
