How can I dwell on things
So minor and insignificant,
Without meaning in them?
Why can’t I just forget
About such small pieces,
And lose all of the pain
I’m inflicting onto myself,
Into my mind?
Why are my eyes still shut,
Still in the dark,
Still sealed down tight?
The glue keeps them together,
Fastened, locked powerfully,
Even huge force can’t part them.
Why can’t I just see what lies
In front of me?
Wipe away the glue,
Free the bolts from my lids.
Make the light shine bright,
Have it known to me
The right way to go.
I need that road to move on,
I can’t make a wrong turn,
Please, open my eyes.
