When i open my eyes,
i see the earth,
twisted in bold hues of black and blue,
when i open my eyes,
im told to look upward,
upward towards the sky,
towards love,
towards hope,
and the obsession of tomorrow,
eyes wide open,
no,
eyes wide shut,
the truth scribbled across thin parchment,
easily erased,
easily changed,
fed lies to alter thoughts of perfection,
its near impossible to break free,
take it all in,
and move it all forward,
strive for tomorrow,
but never forget today.
