You close your eyes
And it is gone.
What you don't want to,
That you won't see.
Close your eyes from reality,
Only so you can live in harmony.
Because everywhere is suffering,
You're just not looking.
That way you can live without
Sorrows and also compassion.
You're leading a life,
Worn being called existence.
You do live, but you don't feel,
You only live half a life.
[The song is "Augen zu" by the German band "Saltatio Mortis" and about the same topic. It actually inspired this poem.]
