Eyes closed

The only way to keep tears from pouring 

Keep them close

Even with all the yelling and beatings

Keep them close

You cry…

…Then it’s over

Keep your eyes close

Don’t even peak

Don’t let them out

Stay quiet 

Don’t move

Eventually, they’ll get tired

At least you don’t get bruises easily 

Yea, just be quiet

Don’t even breath

Imagine

A future far away from them

Just a few more years

Everything will be worth it

But if you open them right now

You lose 

So keep your eyes close
