Closed Eyes

Sometimes,
You will find darkness
With open eyes,
And you will wonder,
If there is light on the other side.

What happens when I close my eyes?
Let me close my eyes today.
I’ll see you on the other side.
If I make it, I make it.
If not, know that I have found the light.

I am happy.
Sometimes, it’s good
To not follow natural instincts.
Sometimes, it’s too late.
Sometimes, you are doing your best.
Go ahead, do you best.

You don’t need to tell this world,
That you are fine.
You don’t even need to be fine.
You need to be just you.
A better version of you than yesterday.
It’s okay to close your eyes.
It’s okay if I don’t find
Anyone on the other side,
As long as I find myself.
Until next time.

I am driven to write, because it’s the only way to keep things alive. Everything else fades away, dies eventually, not words though.
