Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes

 

picture yourself in a place where time doesn’t matter

a place where you feel alive

a place that you makes you happy

a place where your dreams can thrive.

 

Open your eyes.

 

Think about the image that was just in your head

whats stopping you from getting there?

Its that awful thing in the back of your head

How long has it been there causing you despair?

 

Close your eyes again.

 

Picture that thing thats always haunting the back of your mind

Its just you and this thing, this evil thing

Its been there for a very long time

Look it right in the eyes

dont be afraid and tell it

You refuse to be treated this way

Say you’ve been here for far too long

it has taken advantage of its stay

 

This thing knows its had control over you

so it will put up a fight

keep your eyes closed so its the only thing insight

force it out

if you don't it will stay

and continue to take advantage of your heart in every way

don't think you can't escape

because you can

all it takes is firm hand

put your foot down and let it know this is your show

let it know you are your own and you belong to you

then what will there be left for it to say or do?

It no longer has control over you

It knows it has lost

so it will pack its bags

but you better keep your guard up

because it will try to bring back thoughts and memories to change your mind

thoughts of sweet things it did for you
