Hide And Seek

a poem about loneliness and social anxiety

Today is a day

where the world is trying

to play hide-and-seek

and I am the seeker.

But no matter how loud I yell

no one comes out of hiding

and I cannot find them.

The streets are empty.

The houses are empty.

The trees are empty.

There are no people here today.

There is only water and stone,

willows and fog,

sun without warmth.

I look up into the sky where 

not even a single cloud smiles down at me

and feel the chill of a wind

that isn't really there.

The screams of someone crying out,

for help,

to be heard because

she has been trapped inside herself for too long

and there are words on her tongue that have fought wars to come out and shout

and every time

they are 

defeated,

slain.

Not the best thing I've done but I like to keep record of stuff I've written so :3
