Delete, Delete, It's Not

Delete, Delete, It’s Not! I picked a poem from a poetic past, Self-pity, lost love, and dramatic, Pressed the keys that shared it with the present, And then, and then There came a needling wheedling finger point, “Your ego is in the way” it said “Someone will be saddened by your words,” “Not impressed,” a dread, and This dark feeling pressed on my mind, My experience could be best forgot, and Not taint the mind of another, and so Delete, delete, it’s not!

The unspoken word sometimes can be just what someone wanted to hear. If it's worthy of your heart and not malicious, then taking a stand is worth debate.
