Type,
Delete.
Type,
Repeat.

Thousands of words;
All with meaning
Lose their worth
Due to easy deleting.

A joke and a smile
Are ephemeral things,
Also eaiser than admitting
We are living, feeling, human beings.

Hiding affection
Displaying only direction
Forward thinking
No time for honest correction.

Fear and pride
Are one and the same,
Both are damaging
Make you act insane,

Cause you to display only lies
Showing how messed up inside
The person you are, is.
The taste of bitter love
You fight to resist.

So next time you write
The next time you feel
Make sure to share
Only what's real,

Or risk losing the truth
Over the fake
That is not a chance
Anyone should take.
