Close your eyes
And remember the sun.
Feel the soft morning dew.

Let go
And be at peace.
Appreciate the days you had.

Deep breaths.
It won't be long now.
Close your eyes, let go.

I wrote this after listening to "Eyes Open" by Taylor Swift and after watching the Hunger Games movie; Katniss sings to Rue.
