Life doesn't come with a backspace key.
You may hear someones plea,
but once you've done what you've done it's like kicking them in the knee.
You go down instantly in pain,
but this time it's emotional,
so when your tears are uncontrollable,
just look around and you will see,
that life doesn't come with a backspace key.

The author's comments:
What inspired me to write the poem backspace key? My life inspired me. I have made many mistakes in my life, I will admit. I've pushed people away, because I was afraid of being hurt. But once I did I realized just how much I cherished them in my life, but by then it was to late. And that was when I realized that there is no backspace key in life.
