Pen is mightier than the keyboard?
Is it just me or you too agree that writing feels much better than typing?
Using a pen and paper to jot down your thoughts as they flow?
Gaining confidence with every thought that ensues?
Inking every idea with certainty?
While typing you have the luxury of hitting ‘backspace’ whenever in doubt.
You don’t give it much thought but are well aware of its existence.
Can’t help but second guess every word you type.
“Is this okay? Can I put it in a better way?”
Sure that helps to improve the piece,
Go back and forth until it’s perfected.
But sometimes the most beautiful lines,
Are the ones that flow uninterrupted.
That Time I got Reincarnated as a Dumpster Fire
I like to burn trash
All that garbage deep inside of me
To be swallowed by the flames
I would burn all the time
Firefighters would try to quench my fire
But my anger and stench would be smelled for miles
So when I finally get stabbed in the back or run over by a truck
I will just make life miserable for the rest of the world.
Who am I?
I will die. I will die.
We will all die.
But I think some of us will be lucky -
or unlucky - enough to have another life.
As another thing.
As for me, I will be a sewer rat.
Forever scavenging for other people's trash
and using it to create sustenance.
And I will never be able to
get my mind out of the gutter.
