Computerized Life

Whenever you feel lost Or when you feel to reset To look back and feel refreshed Click the “Home” key It’ll open the door to inner prosperity A heart filled with joy For there’s no place like home When you feel like something is missing Or you are missing something You look through the woods and see a forest You finally decide to run away, don’t! Click the “insert” key It’ll make space for a missing heart A missing soul Or a missing leter Then the letter makes a word whole No need to panic, insert! Each time you feel you wronged someone Or there’s something making you look or feel terrible There’s a key called “backspace” You can hit it way back to fix all the wrongs All the mistakes that find you mistaken Forgiveness is such a key, no, backspace A sure way to fix things Anytime you foresee danger Trouble lingering ahead, impatiently waiting for you You know you’ll lose it You’ll lose her, him, them Click on “delete” It’s there to save you from the bad It’s not gonna happen It’s never gonna happen Then you know you are safe When you feel squashed and need to make way... When things are compressed and you need to breathe Take a walk and visit “space” Bet you’ll need this guy as often Might become great friends Don’t be afraid, you need air And space is there to give it to you Sometimes, in order to go forward One needs to reflect See what you have, or have had Some highlights or flashbacks Can go a long way You need “PrtSc”, print screen in full To observe for you what you cannot Through the naked eye of ignorance Reflect, it’s a good part of moving on One wouldn’t argue that Now and again you could use a “tab” From one place to another Hop forward, this is a slow train Why not adjust and keep the format most suitable for you This is your life, take a tab! Whatever life throws at you You know you are the only one Who is in possession of this special key It’s a key to happiness It’ll transport you to any place you ever want to go It’ll give you anything you need, and want This key has a name, like no other “Ctrl” is the only key you can ever use whenever you want to It’s never far from you It’s on both your right and your left hand side Always reachable, always available You should try it sometimes Life can be computerized But what if a computer is personalized?

Thank you, I really had so much fun writing this that I didn't realize it was getting longer and longer. Then I was like Whooosh, don't have to be that long...so I stopped, even though ideas came flying. Thank you very much for the courageous feedback Grace.
