Delete
sometimes i lay awake and wish
that living was as easy as writing
a story
i can highlite my errors
and press delete
start over
no consequences
no difficulties
sometimes i wish while sitting
that all i need to do is think of
what i want
and just simply type
and it will just happen
no hurdles or flaming hoops
to jump through or across
no plans or goals
or objectives to follow
sometimes i daydream all day
and all night
that anything is possible
that the world is at my feet with
a single click of a mouse
i can download body parts
intelligence and even new feelings
of compassion and love not yet hardened
to help others and change the world
no shelters
no jobless veterans
or children with abusive
parents
no poverty or greed or crime
sometimes i wish that i could
make up the real mysteries of the universe
that i could post on the internet and everyone
will follow it
no more wars
no more disputes
everyone will believe and love again
if life were this simple
what would victory feel like
without failure
what would love feel like
without rejection
what is peace
without war
what would having feel like
without going without
so i sit sometimes
talking myself out of this shallow need
and finding a way to make myself better
the hard way
the real way
