Untitled

My eyes try to open

But the sun is too bright

 

I don't want to cry

So I close my eyes

 

I try to keep it in

To show that I'm strong

 

It's so hard sometimes

So I squeeze them shut

 

I open them again

When I hear laughter

 

I wish I could go outside

 

But is is too dificult for me

 

If I could just smile..

 

But I feel pain

I feel remorse

 

I feel weak and little

 

I don't want to time-travel

So I block the images out

 

I close my eyes

 

I force them to shut
