My Eraser's Gone

The thing I kept so close to me
is gone,
misplaced,
I don't know what happened to it
my eraser has disappeared,
now I have to be perfect,
and make no mistakes;
all because my erasers gone
I must live a dull life
without color
or spark!
because I can't erase
bad decisions from my past,
without my eraser
I'm boring like waiting on
paint to dry,
my life is like a slow breeze,
a horrible memory,
that can't be fixed,
all because my eraser's gone

Author's Note

A friend on another writing site suggested to write about losing a(n) eraser, and I came up with this.

Interesting take on your friend's suggestion. I like the idea of having to be perfect because you can't fix your mistakes. It seemed like the lines "I'm bored like waiting on / paint to dry" were separated in a weird place, which made them kind of choppy.

This is an interesting concept, some, like me, could read into a deeper meaning, I'm sure you intended to do that though? I might just be a bit slow :P Loving it

AMAZING! A beautiful poem with a significant moral!
In my opinion, this poem that you've wonderfully constructed is a phenomenon that needs to be shown to the entire world! Keep on writing!
Live long and prosper!

You are a amazing writer. Made a eraser important and needed. The description made the poem seem logical. Thank you for a excellent poem.
