Life

I close my eyes to get away

Inside I see another way

My mind won’t let the pain inside

It locks the door, throws the key aside

Through my walk in life, this keeps me strong

To keep these walls up straight and long

They protect me from the shadows near

There is nothing I have to fear

The problem comes when light seeps through

To remind me to come back to you

Hiding does make perfect sense

If living means false pretense

No I cannot leave without a fight

I must stand tall with all my might

Something stronger calls my name

And opens my eyes to win this game

Life is what you make of it

And nothing happens if you just sit
