a poem

A pencil has an eraser. A pen has a correction tape.

I used it all the time to cover up mistakes.

You can always hide the errors and pretend it didn’t occur.

How amazing it is to cover, and no one can infer.

How I wish I can also cover up the mistakes of my past.

To remove all the imperfections so fast.

How I wish I can remove all my blemishes.

To look at the mirror without perishes.

Because if I can easily detach like an eraser.

Then, I wouldn’t compare myself to her.

If I can use correction to wipe off all fallacy.

Then, I can undoubtedly live happily.
