Shuteye~NicoleI lay here with one eye shut
know my life will come to an end soon
I have worked myself into this situation
I have no way of getting out
I lay here with one eye shut
wonder if it could have been different
I had not taken that last line
still fresh in my nose
I lay here with one eye shut
from every hollow on my face
ask myself why
did I do this
I lay here with one eye shut
imagine no life
is over, no more days
more carefree nights
I lay here with one eye shut
wonder what my family will say
my friends will react
they find me with both eyes shut
This poem was written for one of my composition classes, and I think it speaks for itself.
