Open


I think Imma just drown in my sorrow

I'll go to sleep praying for a better tomorrow 

Time was never given to us so we take and we borrow

Thinking thats the only way to reach our desires

I feel like that's a shame

No one remember's my name

So I create a world where I am the leader and king

But

I stray away from conflict in my pacifist ways

Dreaming that tomorrow will be a cloud less day

But 

It's rainy

I feel as if I'm crazy 

For thinking that my life would be better than shame

I'm hopeless 

At least I'm open

I think I'm open

I try to be Open

When I can 

Which is never 

When am I ever

Open feels like forever and 

Closed is an endeavor

But the book is unsealed

My past will be revealed and when I finish this wave that I'm coastin

I think then and only then 

Will I be Open
