Close the Eyes Tight


Avoiding, evading,

That's my goal

Ignore my troubles

Let them go

 

Over my shoulders and

Out of my sight

These problems won't keep me up tonight

 

Don't pause, don't blink

Watch them tumble to the ground

Just walk away, don't stay

And hope they fade away

 

Even if only for a day
