Hide 'n Seek

He asks me to find myself.
But I am not sure it is worth the search
the mirror snarls and hisses
when I draw near

Backing away slowly
I don't wish to be preyed
already struggling against
the harsh currents

Sometimes I ponder the idea
of just giving up the fight
lowering my clenched fists
and allow the waves to

Overlap me, drown my lungs
so my screams can no longer
rip my throat, I wish to sleep
silently without the threats of dreams

Because searching for me
is a scary thing, an idea
too gruesome to consider
there is no guarantee....
I'll like what I see.
