Hide and Seek

Let’s play hide and seek

You can count to three

By the time you get two,

You’ll never find me

 

Isn’t that the point?

Stay undiscovered,

Hidden

 

I have perfected the win

 

I have yet to come out

For reasons I can admit,

Classic ones like,

Fear of rejection

Fear of failing

Fear…

 

The strongest emotion known to mankind

Constantly telling myself that resilience is stronger

 

How did I learn it?

How is it unlearned?

 

Dear fear, I hate you

 

Fear hidden,

In places too low to seek

 

Fear

You have given me 3 seconds,

I’m undiscovered,

Hidden

Have I won yet?
