Chapter 23 - Page 22

if I close my eyes forever, will everything be better?

amidst the quiet darkness past midnight

I woke up with my chest feeling tight

seven tick-tock have not yet passed

but my pillow was already drizzled so fast

another day has come again

another pain in my book would be written

I heard my mom outside was telling me to get up

I could not tell her a dozen baggage was on my top

the monster depleted my will to move

it's something the world we live in cannot prove

enduring was always the choice out of fear

until my hands had the urge to make it all clear

the bucket of water was full enough to drip

I tried to kick it, but the cliff was not too deep

I did not fall nor remain on track

my feet stayed somewhere in the middle of misery, where I am stuck

the sun continues to rise, but the clock has stopped

everyone has taken a step away from where my life has dropped

if it happened that I close my eyes forever

would everything be peaceful and better?
