Eyes Wide Open
Lying here, eyes wide open; mind racing
Remembering, replaying, and retracing
Venturing into the abyss of “What If”
Thoughts running like water off a cliff
Worst case scenarios are playing out
Every “maybe” carries its own kind of doubt
All the variables begin fading away
Solving for X, if 2 + 4 = x times the square root of A
Sleep evades as eyes watch the clock
The scene is scored with a steady “tick tock”
Lying here, eyes wide open…
