Eyes Wide Open

A Life in Review

By Brittney MckinneyPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Walking through life with my eyes wide open

Never truly knowing what’s going on

Keeping hidden the words not spoken

Afraid to let the real truth be known

Running through life with my eyes wide open

Trying to keep my feet here on the ground

Learning to live with all the copping

Giving myself permission to be found

Sliding through life with my eyes wide open

Doing everything to keep myself sane

Finding all my hard work has been stolen

Nothing will ever really be the same

Falling through life with my eyes wide open

Reaching out for something to hold

Losing my grip on my wishing and hoping

Ignoring the negative that someone once told

Standing through life with my eyes wide open

Feeling like things will never change

Spending my nights crying and mopping

Learning a new way to play the game
