"FROM THE RESTLESS" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

I’d like to close my eyes
even when I’m not asleep
There are so many lies
A lot have cut in too deep

I’d like to cover my ears
blocking the noise from ruining my brain
There are things I’d rather not hear
Sometimes those voices are a pain

I’d like to keep my mouth shut
It’s not that I’m afraid to speak my mind up
So many talk a lot,
but do they really do much?

Oh, I’d rather not
give in to this on-going bitch-fest
Don’t we all have better things to do
instead of making such hatred last?
