FeedBack would be Appreciated!!!

When i was 15 my mom was braiding my hair.

She had just come from work.

"My mom is a queen" i thought.

I closed my eyes.

I heard the news playing in the other room.

I felt the weight of the world.

I started crying.

my eyelids were tight so no tears would fall through.

I said thank you too my mom and left the room.

Walked through the halls without opening my eyes.

Up the stairs with out opening my eyes.

I threw myself in my bed,

hoping to never open my eyes again.

Huh well.

The 'eyes' at the end of the lines really seem awkward.

In the third to last line 'with out' should be one word. In that same line, maybe change 'my eyes' to 'them'?

"Up the stairs with out opening them/I threw myself in my bed/hoping to never open my eyes again."

It's simpler, gets rid of that awkward 'eyes' ending to a line, and goes well with the last line.

It's a bit prosaic. Are you going for a prose poem?
