How much do you rely on your delete key
To be able to construct your thoughts completely
Knowing you can go back, change a letter
Rewrite your words so that they seem better
What if, for a while, you took it away?
Went full typewriter for an hour each day?
So you had to commit to every new line
Even if it irked and didn't seem fine
I think you'd go slow,
Take a little more care
Even in your flow,
You'd be a lot more aware
About the value inherent,
Of each word you chose
Of the decisions present,
In forming your prose
Don't let your mistakes fill you with shame
Embrace your successes and failures the same
Life is cleaner, but a little less complete
When we rely too heavily on what we delete
