backspace.

this keyboard-
it is a lie.


i type a wrong
word-
backspace.


this life-
it is reality.


i mess up-
backspace
does not
exist.


i am not hidden
behind 
spellcheck.


my veil is stripped.
this life is 
now.


these mistakes-
have no
editing.


kfjdkjsjfdslfj-
backspace.

listen::Him

a voice so loud
nobody could hear.
she wailed.
she shrieked.
but all she
did was
disappear.


she yearned
for them to
see her.
to love 
her.


invisible
was she.
the girl who
only wanted
to be--
everything 
to
everybody.


solitude 
found her.
solitude 
silenced her.


in this dark::desolate::
place--she found
a voice.


a voice
that was
not her 
own.


His.
