With My Eyes Shut

A Poem

By Angel AdagioPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Nightmares have slipped through my life like my second shadow,

suffocating me through the day and finding a friend in me at night.

I closed my eyes to find a life beyond the one I'm in,

the dreams I hope would be reality

breathing in the beauty, exhaling the sorrows of lost tomorrows.

Find me a world where my heart can last longer than expected,

one where there are dragons that live amongst us,

or where fairytales are no longer just part of our dreams.

If I must find the world alone, then I will forever keep my eyes shut

to live the life I was meant for.
