Closing my eyes so that I can’t see <br />Life staring aggressively back at me <br />With eyes shut I try and find <br />A way to heal this mind of mine <br />Coz if my problems are out of sight <br />It could bring a swift end to this fight <br />And if my problems are out of mind <br />I could finally get on the road to feeling fine <br />Going to need time, space and a quiet place <br />Somewhere where I could never be traced <br />But it’s now the case now that I'm here <br />That I was followed by my fear <br />And from inside he pushes out a tear <br />And in my ear I hear him cheer <br />So I shut my eyes and tell him to go <br />This must’ve been his cue to grow <br />Coz now when I shut my eyes and I see black space <br />Out of the darkness I will always see my problems face<br /><br />Kaspa Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shut-eyes/
