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.

    it's okay

    when i'm freaking out

    when i'm nervous or scared or feel like i did horribly

    you're always there.

    you try to call even if you're too busy to
