Views of an eye

 

OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK OUTSIDE

Just for once, step out.
See the world before you.
Watch the people around you.
Each a contrast of emotions.

Just for once, try smiling.
Talk to people beside you.
Watch their faces brighten up.
Having finally found a friend.

Just for once, don’t hide.
Share your secrets with friends.
Watch all your burdens lighten.
The inner fears fading away.

Just for once, laugh on.
Conjure happiness out of nothing.
Watch your mind open free.
To an end less fiesta.

Just for once, let go.
Bleed all your faliures away.
Watch optimism creep into you.
Reasons to start over new.

For once in your life,
Try to be your self.
Watch your dreams come alive.
Just for once, try it.
