Open

By Amanda Pizzolatto (Rated G)

Open your eyes, look around you
What are the things you see?
The world is a great big, scary place
But oh the wonders there will be!

Open your ears, stop and listen
What are the things you hear?
Music fills the air all around
While noises jump out into the clear

Open your nose, take a sniff
What are the things that you smell?
Some odors are not so nice
But many scents are nice and swell

Open your mouth, take a bite
What are the things you taste?
Many things are good to eat
And some are best with little haste

Open your hands, press and touch
What are the things you feel?
Textures of all different kinds
Some can be a great big deal

Open your mind, take it all in
What are the things you think?
Process every little piece
Each bit of info is a new link

Open the door, there’s so much more
Who are you going to be?
Every decision makes an impact
The real you comes out when you are free
