Fallback Down

The ability to engage and communicate with
real people is so rare nowadays
People are more comfortable talking through the third party 
(technology, gadget, etc)

The comfort they found is similar to the comfort you get in reading chick lit
or watching romantic and happy ending movie
The same pleasant feeling you get when eating marshmallow 
while embracing your mellow moment
Its so comfortable cause its so easy

They become bolder, talkative, initiative when they talk through their third party 
Not afraid to show their feelings, more of a risk taker. 
Its so effortless for them when they have all the gadgets protecting them 
They hide from reality and use gadgets as their defense
 
Wait till you meet them in person

Suddenly they are the most reserved person you ever met
Stammer who's always running out of words 
Awkward like a total geek
Mind-numbing like an exhausted granny

Their mind is diluted because 
They refuse to face the truth 
They refuse to grow up
Some people couldn't see the thin line 
between real life and illusion 

Technology and all its advanced gadgets is 
definitely a wonder of invention
But it gets ugly when one attach to it
especially when you're around with others 
and you can't control yourself by keep checking on your gadget

Real life is not in the box, its outside
Its found when you talk face to face
connect one and another
when you brave enough to show your true colors 

Real life is found when you're able to make peace with 
all your shortcomings and the shortcomings of others
while freely flaunting your flair and 
humbly accepting the strength of others
