Visual Lies

You have trust issues
is that why your eyes are closed
did they deceive you yet again
by seeing what they wanted you to see
rather than what was really there
maybe that's why you're having trouble
you can't see where you should be
or who you should be
because all you see is misery
everything that went wrong before
and everything that could go wrong again
that's why your eyes are closed
it's understandable 
given everything that's happened 
so just keep them closed for now
at least until things look a little better
the way you imagined they would be
misery doesn't have to be all you see
because it's not all that's there
if you have trust issues
start by trusting yourself
and stop trying to sabotage your vision
don't let your eyes play you for a fool
but don't let them play the fool either
