Second Life

There is a place, where one can remake themselves,
One can make themselves into any image that they want
One can turn themselves into a goddess or stud.
One can turn their dreams into realities
One can become their idol or their heroine.

There is a place where one can different
There is a place where one can be simply – themselves
There is a place where one can bask in fantasy
Or interweave themselves in fine strands of make believe

There is a place where one can separate reality from fantasy
There is a place where you can be rich or poor
There is a place where you cannot die.

This is a place fraught with dangers –
And the most tantalizing pleasures.
This is a place that welcomes you –
Into a whole new world of addiction.
This place is called Second Life.
This place is a virtual reality dreamer's paradise
There is fun to be had, there are friends to be gained,
But don't lose sight of what is important
And most fundamentally challenging –
Do not lose yourself within this world.

Who you are and who you want to be,
Can only be achieved if you gain control.
If you lose control and revel in the addiction –
You have lost yourself.
So enjoy Second Life, for it is fun and it is paradise,
But do not lose yourself...be yourself
In a million voices, be the one who stands out –
As the lone man or lady who is real.
