It was there.
And then it was gone.
Frantically scrolling up and down I somehow knew the search was useless. The frustration streaming through my blood kept my mind off of everything else in the world. I was mad. Angry. Questioning why this would happen. Hard work pays off? Or hard work gets "accidentally" deleted by the stupid device that I have ignorantly become so dependent on. It has become our way of communication; our way of becoming something else. We try to make technology a mold of ourselves. Piling in personal information until we are left holding our entire life in our palm. We stick our faces behind 4x2 rectangles of wires and data, instead of looking each other in the eye.

But you see, the problem is, you can't bleed into a device. It won't absorb. Your feelings, your life will merely sit on top of it until your phone eventually shuts down.

But you can bleed into paper. You can write and write and only be concerned about how badly your hand is cramping. You can hold it, you can feel it. And you can hope others feel it too. You can carry it around and never worry about it becoming "outdated."

There are no upgrades.

There is only inspiration.

Dear Reader let me paint a mental picture portrait
Of the girl I met at seventeen I could not forget
The deepest, sweetest brown hair and eyes
Hiding her eyes behind her hair when she smiled
She would dance her problems away
She would talk to me and love me in a way
I was never loved before the way she kissed
When you looked at her you would have never guessed
She could be such a ***** girl
Now thinking of it, I shouldn't have entered her world
She had such perfect creamy skin
I could never believe she would let me in

Dear First Love, I need to let you know
I'm so very sorry for the way things had to go
When we first met
I would've never guessed
You'd be the one I'd give everything to
I never wanted to take your innocence
And no matter what I deny, I did
I wonder if you could ever love me again
Or forgive me for my sins
The pain and heartache I brought
Were not as worth it as I thought
Remember that blanket I bought
The only reminder of me you've got
You said you hated the way you look
You thought you were ugly fat and mean
I used to write you books
Saying you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen
You hated your heritage
Your ex made fun of you for it
I thought it was beautiful
I loved you more for it
It doesn't matter now anything I say
You Moved on and so did I, maybe that's the way
It's supposed to be but I just want you to know
I'll always love you no matter where you go
One more thing I must say today:
I'm sorry that I took your innocence away
I'M SICK TO MY STOMACH
AND PEOPLE ASK WHY
I SAY TAKE A LOOK AROUND
THE WHOLE ******* WORLD IS BLIND

— The End —
