If I sleep with my eyes open,
Maybe I’ll be less afraid.

Maybe I’ll finally get to see
Those monsters in my closet,
And,
Maybe,

I’ll chase away the voices in my brain.

Maybe I’ll see a new me,
In the shattered mirror,
And broken glass.

Maybe I’ll feel complete,
Maybe I’ll finally pass-

The test that I've been dreading,
The test that makes me shake,
The test of life,

That,

May not even be worth it.
But,
Maybe,

If I sleep with my eyes open,
I’ll be less afraid.
