Don't

don't keep
my hopes
          up,
they might
drown
          in sorrow.
don't lift
my mouth
          in a smile,
it might
unconsciously
          frown.
don't close
my eyes
          tight
and blot
the sun
          from me.
don't clasp
my hands
          in front of you
and trap
my life
          in a box
for i
can't open
          your eyes
to the world and
show you
          the way
to reach
the door
          to my soul.
