Outside looking In

Hide and Seek

Outside looking In

topsy turvey turnabout

must be guilty of some sin

cause once again I'm outside

I'm outside looking in

now you see it now you don't

using slight-of-hand

things change oh so drastically

so hard to understand

peek-a-boo now you're it

must be time to turn and hide

I know there is an explanation

but it tears me up inside

sometimes the sun will shine

but the clouds always return

get so excited when I need my shades

but when will I ever learn

for every moment of sublime bliss

there are a hundred worse

a thousand times a goodbye kiss

it's such an evil curse

no explanation saying why

none is needed I'll take it on the chin

growing colder inside no more tears to cry

I'm outside looking in

Wow, this is interesting. I have found my self on the outside looking in a few times. But I had put myself on the outside, guess thats the difference.
Kim is right it does have rhythm and the rhyming is great.
I read that alot of your poems have rhythm, guess thats because you are a musician as well.
I like rhythm and not just in poetry.
Awesome piece as usual David
