Sewn Shut

A reminder why to open your eyes everyday.

Waking up is hard.

Having to open your eyes

Knowing that there is another day at your door,

Makes you want to sew them shut.

Take this thread and needle in this pill bottle,

And close you eyes forever.

Or maybe use this sewing machine shaped like a gun

Press it against your forehead and press the pedal.

I heard there is a tailor at the bottom of this cliff.

Maybe if I jump,

I’ll find him.

But everyday, my eyes sneak open,

Almost in protest.

And then I see why I’m still here.

For her.

Very awesome read. I like how your writing flows together, to make me visualize everything that's going on. Many stories on here do that, and that's why most of the stories I read on here are good because you all are very talented and gifted, I visualized everything as I was reading it. Great writing. On to another topic. I have a website where I post my short stories, and blogs on. I also have ads on the website. I was wondering if you can go to my website, and click on any ad. you don't have to buy anything, I promise you won't get any viruses, all it is is google adsense on my website, and the more clicks on the ads, the more it helps grow my website. My website is bwlawson.com I appreciate it, that you would be taking part in helping my craft, business, product, and brand grow. Thank you!
