Shutting My Eyes
-
NB: I seem to shut my eyes to drain away my problems, however I find that it never seems to work. I do this often. I find covering my eyes with my hands and blocking out that sensory function helps with processing other things, a bit like covering my ears to block out noises :)!
Shutting My Eyes
When I am upset
Scared or afraid
Confused or worried
Frustrated or stressedI shut my eyes
To block out the world
Shut them tight
To drain all my problemsHowever eventually
To open them I must
And I find those things I wished gone,
are not…Its at this moment,
this point in time…
I realize in life
I can’t get what I want.Yet I still try…
Each and every time,
Shutting my eyes,,,
To drain away my problems~~

Ahhh Matty that poem says it for many of us who have problems. You are right though it doesn’t always help but it does give a bit of a break from it all.
Your writing is always good and it is a reflection of you and your moods – which everyone has.
