Writing has so many advantages But non e tht I take for granted more Than the ability to change what’s been writtn The backspace on a keyboard The eraser of a pencil But life is a story written in pen No crossing out words or paragraphs And no tearing out pages so they can be written again It j only continues to be written Moving forward With every mistake and flaw Immortalized in a way more permanent Than ink on a page could ever be And so I wrote this as ametaphor As a challenge to do thinkgs right the first time But even if I think twice, write once Shaky hands miss keys And I see better pasts unchangeable once I ma am is in the future I am in the future Such is life
