When I close my eyes, nothing exists

not the clothes on my carpet
or homework in my bag

not how my mother never calls
or how I used to wish she did

not the friends I have lost
or the ones I have not made

nor the things that I want
even worst; what I need

When I close my eyes,
and slip into my dreams
Spin head first into a world
where I can finally be at peace

Morning comes too fast
but I wake in routine
Get dressed in uniform
ignore the phone when it rings

I finally have a smile
that meets my hazel eyes

I know I will leave this town
when my chance comes by

I will travel the world
and regret nothing when I die

I know I have a voice
that could make my choir cry

But for now,
I will sit on the bus
and watch the raindrops
through the window pane

I believe in sunny days
those and raindrops fill my dreams
