Erased
The tips of my fingers gracefully leap off the keyboard,
For all now is done
Years and years of wrinkled depression
Now spread upon robotic paper
Centuries of misery, silence, and hope
Are only whispers to memory
The words hide meaning, hide truth
They are only fake smiles that burden the agony
Words are mimicry
They beat the bushes and clatter the dishes,
Disguises are their specialty even if exposed to the persecutor
In a blink of an eye eras of meaning disappear
Lightning crystals stream down my face
Onto the keys
They are slick from tears filled with outcry
I check the history
But there is no history
I read again, again, again
Grasping for the soothing comfort that it's still here
But I know it's gone
Reality proves it's gone
And the feelings from before bubble up inside me
I need to accept
Repeating the words thousands of times in my head
accept, accept, accept
I am stronger
I am anew
Not trapped in this tight box
I stare at the blankness once more
The whiteness once filled with dark
Before is erased,
accept
