Just Close Your Eyes

Whenever I' am hurt, I just close my eyes and pretend that everything is just a bad dream that when I wake up, everything will be the same as it was before but life doesn't work that way. I was foolish enough to think like that but for a person who was left broken, is there anything he/she could do to relieve the pain he/she is feeling ? Maybe closing our eyes to the things we don't want to see would help us erase the pain even for a little while but do you know what I wish ? Its to learn how to close my heart to the things I don't want to feel.
