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
