I closed my eyes

Opportunity presented itself 
I closed my eyes
Learning seemed hard
I closed my eyes
I pushed open a door to my new start
I closed my eyes
Nothing worked out 
I closed my eyes 
Facing my reality 
I closed my eyes 
Losing the worth for which I strived
Every waking moment my heart cried
However hard I tried 
I couldn't close my eyes.
