Delete

I wanted to write a poem

But the words seemed so out of place

My fingers moveed across the keyboard

As I tried to make some sense

Of the thoughts that seemed to pile up

When there wasn't something for me to write on

For days I gave up, hating that damn poem

Walked away after I marked my place

Days later I would return to my keyboard

Finding my rhyme pattern made no sense

The thoughts that had piled up

Were nothing I could actually write on

Five times I wrote that poem

But the words never had a place

I cried out and threw my keyboard

Why doesn't it make any sense!?

I walk over and pick the keyboard up

And find a delete key to place my finger on

Some things I've learned

Here is something I've learned
It's nothing new
Just a little bit of knowledge
From me to you

You can still break a heart
When its already in two
You cant cross a bridge
After blowing it to the moon

You cant cross your fingers
On a promise you need to keep
You can still get lost
With a map if you dont know how to use it

And last but not least
Keep this in mind for the next time you sleep
Not all dreams come true
But the ones you really work on do.
