I wish

I wish I could be you.

Running to your room

Plugging your ears

Whenever there's a scary part of a movie

And coming back out in time

To see the happy ending -

Closing your eyes

Covering your face

When you see a car crash

A box of my best friend's ashes

Anything dark

Running 

Hiding from death

From hard things.

And I'm angry,

That while you get to walk through life

With your eyes closed

I have to keep mine open

Because that's what she deserved

That's what they deserved

And you

Can't always run away

From what scares you.
