Hide and Seek is just a game..

I can't stop hiding from..

     I can't stop hiding from my seeker.. I know it's time to give up, but I can't. It's an addictive game once you start playing.. One.. Two.. Three.. Four.. Five.. Six.. Seven.. Eight.. Nine.. Ten.. Ready or Not here I come.  Scurry behind the curtain that hangs low to the floor before you are found, at least this is just what it feels like. 

    I don't actually mean playing the game as a child.. I mean now. I hide from the true me, a reality. Telling you I am only human would be another excuse made up by man. No, I am not being fake.. I am just hiding from the seeker. I am not ready to be found, because I might be scared someone else will be hurt. What I mean is just this..

     I am that "Lonely" person, even though I have everyone around me.. I am that "Sad" person, even though I smile and laugh all day long. I am that "damaged" person, even though you can't see my fears. I am that one person who would NEVER wish my pain on anyone else.. Because I hide it well from you. I'm done "hiding behind the curtain" I GIVE UP! "Come out, come out, from where ever you are." That is the white flag of the game.. Life isn't a game though. I am still scared. I may never come out from behind my curtain.
