Shut My Eyes

-

Surreal is what it is

Pin pricks that open wide

Trying to unshed tears

Beholding scenes

That I don't want to see

Clasping and holding tight

Never ever letting go

Blind is what I want to be

Take away that light

Shut my eyes

And let me be

The strife, those travails

Of poverty and violence

The falling and rising

Of blackness around me

It hurts and it stings

And squeezes my orbs

Steadying my gaze

When I am turning away

Shut my eyes

And let me be

Those sights I saw before

Only haze they now bring

A touch of magic

Gone with a blink

A vision and euphoria

Is what I seek

Of a perfect world

With an imperfect me

Shut my eyes

And let me be
