Forcing the eyes shut
You are awake inside
Forcing the lingering calm
You are awake inside
…
Forty-one
Nothing to hide
Why all the black flies?
…
Forcing the lingering calm
Slowly opening the eyes
Convincing myself I’m alright
Closing back the eyes
…
Forty-one
Seemingly proud
Why all the black lies?
…
Opening the eyes
No sound around
Opening the eyes
Sudden unexpected rush
…
Forty-one
There’s still a chance
Stop the lies or lie with conviction and pride
