Close My Eyes, Breathe Deep

Close my eyes, breathe deep.
i need sleep
but these thoughts keep
playing again and again
broken record, there is no end
i can't do this anymore
my tears fall to the floor
more and more they just wont stop
one by one they drop
i need to relax
everything always happens so fast
and nothing good ever lasts
one steps forward ten steps back
nothing stays on track
and when i wanna turn around
i find i can't go back
my minds a mess
don't know how this heart still beats
in this chest
i need a rest from all this stress
fall back onto my bed
forget everything that has been said
clear my head
and just keep moving on
trying to act so strong
but I've been putting on this show too long
I look so young
like my life's just begun
but inside i feel so old,
so alone and cold
my body, abused and misused
I'm so confused
i just wanna run so far away
and pray for better days
but i know I'm here to stay
so i close my eyes, breathe deep
and try to get some sleep
hoping tomorrow gives me good
memories to keep.

**please r/c i haven't written in awhile and i wanna know if I've gotten a little rusty. I'll return the favor.**
