Eyes

[nibbed]

Here's another one I'm working on.

I'm in my bed wide awake,
     fighting demons my body wants but my heart hates.

If I open my eyes 
     they're at my fingertips, ready to destroy me.

If I close my eyes
     they play a movie of all the things I've done.

I don't want to close my eyes
     because I'm afraid of what I'll see.

I don't want to open my eyes,
     but that pain is easier to bear.

So no matter what I do,
     I can't close my eyes.

Hi JaredEggo

I hope you are not suffering and if you are, things will get better and you will find victory.
I would try reworking it into a rhyme. I don't know why when I was reading through it over and over
my brain wanted the words to change into rhyme. Maybe it was the way I saw the format. Anyways,
just a thought. Best wishes!
