I want you to know me.
A sea of endless faces
has flooded the new frontier,
cyberspace,
and a million voices are crying,
crying to be heard.
Dreams stretch across the void.
This is my vision,
this is my story.
Fingers pound the keyboard.
Eyes flash across the words
written across the screen.
No longer lost
but a face forming in digital,
a prescence is felt,
and the sea no longer drowns me.
A bridge has been built
high above ground,
and yes, there are those
tearing down
foundation
for me to stand on.
But the bridge remains,
and I am lifted off
into cyberspace
to make a name for myself.
And I want you to know me,
know why I'm here.
