Open Up

Open your arms to what you want to stay,
thus you can be able to determine your fate;
and from what you might be thinking,
could lead you to something more than just hate.
 
Close your arms when you want to keep it,
something so strong you want to keep close;
Deep in your heart it'll be set straight,
From what you know, nobody else knows.
 
Close your eyes to what you want to focus on,
your ears open to what you want to hear;
With just a blink of an eye,
it could all disappear.
 
Focus your mind on your treasure,
keep it focused on your true goal;
If you just open up inside and out,
it'll add ease to your soul.
