Delete, delete, delete

Do you ever delete deleted messages from a group conversation? 

A message that somebody has already deleted, 

so your deleting it 

means nothing de facto, 

not to that person, 

not to the group, 

yet, 

deligently, 

time after time, 

you delete them. 

And it's not even as though

it's fun! 

You find it tedious, 

often so that you do it

begrudgingly;

runny sleepy eyes, 

and an aching thumb, 

grumbling, 

in the middle of the night, 

just before you fall asleep, 

sometimes even after! 

So you could sleep at peace, 

safe in the knowledge! 

If you do, 

I hear you, my friend! 

Life can be unbearably hard sometimes, 

Even unnervingly so, 

but you'll make it through. 

If you don't, 

you don't know the first thing about trauma. 

Lucky you!
