To the Poets of YAP, would you please read?

.

I will not pretend to dislike 

This virtual reality

Having a mask that empowers

Hyperbolized honesty.  

Living a Self-Created caricature 

In a synthetically governed space

No consequence or accountability

A recipe for a Sub-Human race. 

Our minds are fully engaged

And feelings often exaggerated

Our true hearts remain hidden

Behind levels, over-rated. 

I am not content to be contained

Within the limits of this identity

"Relationships" that might exist

With conditional sincerity. 

Though it's time to go outside to play

There are some I'll miss a bunch

And if we meet in real life one day,

I'll take you out to lunch. 

With real food... 

.

Update:

Most of you have been around longer than me, I'm sure you understand, I just need some air...

Update 2:

Thank you all for answering, thank you for your kindness. There is no way to choose best, so off to vote... Blessings,

JC

    Go get your air JC. You are both right and wrong at the same time. We have the chance to initiate an ideal friendship here, which may continue in real life. Yes, all you nicely portray are true, it is a spiritual trust in here though. We do not use most of our senses to interact with each other in full efficiency, but from the other side there would be no other way or chance for you to have met me, Fred, Damsy, Beth, BG, CW all of your good friends that Truly exist and will go for a coffee with you given the chance.

    Hope ya have fun at least JC, I am not on here long or often enough to be needing a break in fact YAP is my fresh air. Come back though will ya?

    It's funny I haven't read anything by you in a while, and just today when I was struggling with rhyming a sonnet (eventually gave up..) I see this perfectly (in my not-so-expert-eyes) metered and rhymed. :)

    Nicely put, I get it, but for me it is different my life has been

    full of wonder and sometimes death, full of travel and perplexity

    I came here to learn poetry and have met some truly gifted

    poets who have extended their hand.Along the way I have somehow

    managed a few friends which is a bonus. I have not crossed paths

    with you and that is to my sadness, I wish you luck and Gods speed.

    Air is good.

    Waiting for the pendulum to swing is good, also.

    Participating while keeping a keen eye out and trusting your instincts is even better.

    Meeting friends on here in real life is the best!

    Hope to see you back in a bit.

    A vacation brings new perspectives, consideration of the past, scrutiny of the present, and plans for the future.

    Nothing great about the coldness of a computer screen, even though our warmest words are written there.

    Catch-22.

    Good Morning!

    I'll have a roast beef sandwich

    On a toasted grecian bun

    I'll even leave the tip, my friend

    So long, now. It's been fun.

    You put in so much in such a short span of time. Of course you need to breathe. I hope you come back.

    Oh JC...I understand

    ....please keep in touch while you are breathing

    Honestly, without the mask, it is so much easier...

    Air Apparent

    Your favored line has got my own initials

    and well describes our YA state conditional

    I'm proud to flaunt my burgeoning sub-humanity

    exacerbated by this fertile mass inanity.

    Your verse is wraithed with wretched smell of sense

    and if you visit the world t'is no offense

    Where else do you think folks collect the matter

    we turn into parser's dung in Yahoo Answers?
