Backspace
Everynight i sit at my computer watching the minutes tick by,
and i try and i try to write something thats going to matter.
I have the thoughts in my head, and the fire in my soul,
but i also have a fear in my heart.
A fear of not being good enough,
a fear of failing.
I fear that what i write isnt what needs to be said.
Im scared about whether I matter.
Whether Im here for a reason or if im only hear to pass the torch of life to someone who will matter to the world.
I write these words,
and i feel these feelings only to hit the backspace button enough times for the words ive created to dissappear into my computer.
