Hide And Seek

By Saumya Sinha

In the game of Hide and Seek with pain

Pain is always the chaser and you have to hide

It plays with you like you are a little kid

Counting slow, allowing you to find the best spot

Somewhere you feel secure and confident

While searching you it takes it time,

Even after crossing your path it seems to not acknowledge you, as if you’re invisible

You think you’ve done it, you defeated the best player, you won the game

But while hiding in your perfect spot you forget to look at pain

It knew from the start where you’ve been

And every moment you get hope it stretches the vicious grin

It moves out of your sight making you believe it couldn’t find you

And just as your smile gets audible it seize you

You blame yourself for being naïve

For getting a little too happy, a little too soon

But you see pain demands to be felt

And it was proclaimed the winner way before the cards were dealt
