All around me my world is crashing down
Maybe by looking down I won't hear the
hurtful words. Maybe by looking down I won't
see the hateful stares. All around me
everything changes and nothing stays the
same. A once happy home filled with love and
laughter is now only filled with tears and
anger. Maybe by looking down I won't feel the
anger. Maybe by looking down I won't taste
the tears. And instead they will fall to the
floor and fill this house and wash away the
bad things. Maybe by looking down It won't
change anything, but maybe by looking down
I can escape it all. And when I look up
everything will be normal again. Maybe by
looking down I can convince myself it is all
a dream. And maybe by looking down that is
all I hope to accomplish.
