Hide & Seek
February 19, 2016
You seek, I hide
This is how you play
You seek, I hide
This and everyday
This was a game
This was for fun
You tricked me into thinking
That’s what this was
I used to run in giggles
But all I hear are screams
Darkness and held breaths
Are all I seem to be
Now this is my future
Huddled to be found
Or maybe you’ve just forgotten
What your game has done to me
You seek, I hide
This is how you play
You seek, I hide
Until the pain goes away

I was inspired to write this by a hard time in my life full of trauma and unpredictibility when I was young.
