Hide and Seek
I saw her, standing there
She looked lost, lonely, and scared
She didn’t like to be around people
So she hid where no one could see her
But I did, I saw her
No matter where she ran I seemed to find her
It felt unusual and quite frightening
I could feel her fear and her chest tightening
She did something wrong, something unforgiveable
She ran going nowhere, it was unpredictable
She tripped over a pile of debris
She hurt herself and began to scream
I went to go help her and
Suddenly she stopped
I stepped back and
She stood up
She was gonna run
I told her “no”
I walked towards her as
She tried not to open her eyes
Because I can’t seem to hide from me
