What We See In a Day // The Letters On The Screen

When I woke up I saw the ceiling. Then I saw myself. Then for the next nine hours I saw people. Some people that I liked and some that I don't. I saw papers with letters and numbers on them. Some of these letters and numbers I did not understand. I saw concrete; miles and miles of it. By then I was tired enough. I didn't want to see anything else, but I had not choice. I saw the sky, it was big and bright and blue. I loved it. I saw a screen. I see a screen right now, and as my fingers move I see letters appear on the screen. Where are these letters when they're not on the screen? Maybe they hide, or maybe they don't exist. Something somewhere tells these letters to appear, but until then they are just hiding somewhere else and we can't find them until we need them. The letters on the screen must feel so ignored sometimes, especially letters like 'z' and 'q' that are rarely used. Oh, and we can't forget the letters that get erased when we use the backspace on them. They must feel so hated, like we needed them and then all of a sudden we changed our minds and don't need them anymore. It makes it even worse to know that we are known to treat people just like we treat the letters on the screen.
