34. Lord, open your Eyes

```

"Lord, You always ask me

To keep my eyes open.

How is it that You never

Keep Your Eyes open?

Just open Your Eyes and see

How I am suffering.

I really want to die.

Your world does not want me,

Your world does not need me.

It only knows how to torture me

Mercilessly and constantly."

My child, world-despair has possessed you,

But I always claim you

As my Eternity's own. ```
