Give me a key board and let me type something
Let me decide what I want to type and how I want it to look
When I am done with typing, I can delete all that I have written
I can go back to having a blank page
I can re-write all that I have ever written with my keyboard
The keyboard is man-made
So, if it is destroyed I can always a get a new one to do the same thing that the old one did
As I take my fingers off the keyboard, I realize that
I cannot re-write my past
I cannot go back there and right wrongs, capitalize or minimize my mistakes
It is not possible to delete them from who I was
On my keyboard I can set a date in the future that I want to write with a certainty
But I cannot with certainty be who I want to be or where I want to be with certainty
I cannot determine with certainty what I will have, who I will be with
But I can with my keyboard
I can do many things with my keyboard
If only I could go back to change my past, my worries, my regrets, my mistakes, my life
But yes, I can, with my keyboard
I can do so much with my key board.
I can do all that I wish, only on my keyboard
