So often I wish I could just close my eyes and when I open them, I will see all the things I wish my life could be.

CHANGE

Let me please close my eyes,

Take a break from it all.

And when I open them,

Hopefully my life won’t still be holding on by a string.

Maybe I won’t repetitively fall.

Let me please close my eyes,

I can’t stand what I see

And when I open them, the dishonestly will disappear like a swarm of flies.

I want to run away from everyone, especially me.

Let me please close my eyes.

Can I go hide away, curl myself into a ball.

When I open them my problems will be severely decreased in size.

And when I gaze above me, my problems will no longer seem 10 stories tall.
