Close Your EyesA Poem by Megan S.A world I want to go to, but when I open my eyes at the end... It's back to following the same beat, same rhyme, same monotonous pace.Close your eyes… Let it go… Fly away to a place- One simpler than this Where it’s okay- To stop caring, stop listening… Stop feeling, seeing, tasting, touching… Where you simply aren’t And never will be Where the walls are black Because your eyes are closed And the sound is zero ‘Cause your ears are too. Sit down, stand up, or lie back… Don’t speak, don’t breathe Don’t laugh, don’t bother Life isn’t real here, love isn’t important No one to answer to No rhyme or rhythm, no pace to follow Just stop. But when you open your eyes It didn’t disappear We’re still changing ourselves For approval we don’t hear. We’re keeping a beat And chasing a rhyme Following rules we don’t like Most of the time Just to be special To be liked in the end By people who’ll forget You were ever their friend… © 2011 Megan S.Author's Note
