Close Your Eyes

Close Your Eyes

 

The city is just a flash of faces

Ones I don’t get to actually see

My head spins to try and catch them

Minute by minute they quicken

Becoming a blurred swirl of colors

A panicked painting of uncertainty

It never ceases to slow down

Maybe it’s meant to confuse me

To jumble my thoughts and perceptions

I’m tempted to reach out my hand

Just to see if I could stop time

I do not want to be stuck here

In this uncontrollable mirage

Frustration is trying to claim me

But I won’t CRUMBLE to my knees

The voices will not PARALYZE me

My sanity is all that remains

All of my faith has been burned

Along with my acceptance

I need someone to notice me

Or else I will be my DOWNFALL

Not now, but dreadfully soon

Save me from the long drop down

Conceal me from my ending

I know time is running out

Roads are being torn apart

Stories have been hidden away

Now, there is only one remaining task

^{I must close my eyes}

 

Author's Note

Don't be a grammar nazi. And if you don't know yet, I do not like to use punctuation in my poetry - deal with it. If you don't like it, then don't read it!

This prose is so true. in a world that we live in, people forget the essence of peace (as in, closing the eyes). People tend to forget, forget that we are here to be happy and at peace. Our era is a blur, fast forward and never ever stops. This is a good reminder to us all. Thank you for sharing
