scared to open my eyes

Scared to open eyes

for not knowing whats ahead of me

hoping not to believe

hoping not to fall in

always thinking of the new life

hoping it lets me down slowly

i open my eyes

i see whats ahead

i believe

i fell in

i saw the new life

it let me down, down, down

my eyes shut again...

never opened since
