Repeat

Close your eyes
Breathe
And it might all go away
You open your eyes
And see that nothing has changed
Except time
And while you were huddled on the floor
Screaming and sobbing
And wishing
You began to see that your life
Is like mine
Full of sorrow and pity and hatred
But you kept hoping
You kept dreaming
You curled into a ball
Trying to protect yourself
From the realities of the real world
The world that you've been denying for so long
That now as you slowly learn the rules of the game
You feel weak and dizzy
So you closed your eyes
Breathed
And hoped it all went away
You open your eyes
Nothing has changed
You close your eyes
Breathe
Make a wish
And open your eyes
Now repeat...
But face it
Every time you close your eyes
You close your mind
And that
Doesn't solve anything
