Head pounding, his words repeated in my head like a broken record
my mind and i
are at a game of hide and seek
only i think i've gotten the rules wrong
i am both
the hider
and the seeker
the hider says”if you don’t kill yourself the seeker will”
forever searching for her
but terrified of being seen
my mind and i
are at a game of hide and seek
only
i think i've gotten the rules wrong
i am both
the hider
and the seeker
forever searching for her
but terrified of being seen

Hey,Miss cute little jumping spider;
you are a skilled under leaf hider.
Wow!The crown like eight tiny eyes!
or you the princess in disguise?
Hello, Mr. Handsome Hawk moth caterpillar;
the color spots on your body glitter.
Aww, you look like a snake, with big pseudo eyes,
Tell me, when are you gonna fly?
Oh, the shiny cyanide millipede,
How do you manage to walk,
with these many golden legs?
Why are you so shy, now don't get coiled.
Hey,the smiling soft snail;
Why do you look so pale?
Can't bare your mobile home?
Come take rest, don't roam
I still wonder,
Why do they hate you? It's not fair
It's their blunder
You just don't care.

Wanted:
human that fits following description
I am a riser
I live to fulfill all of your needs
I am no run and hider
I am a pusher
I am a fighter
I am a get out a’liver ~
I will take your darkness
I will make you lighter
I am strong enough to stay your demons down ~
I am a trier
I will get low with you, that I may lift you higher
~ An army could not keep down my desire ~
Sunshine Williams
All who are indeed awake,
feel final straw, foundations shake~
The call is made, the last divider,
twixt truth on sleeve or shifty hider~
Forged deceptions ooze and leak,
nowhere to flee, no voice to speak~
Chained to mirror of one’s creation,
look away, recant salvation~
Adroit the ego’s seductive song,
stacked like drones in right and wrong~
Desire’s obsequious enchanting death,
robs you now of frenzied breath~
Entombed in falsity of my design~
One choice brings sleep. . . or love divine~

hider in the attic is a frailty
for an antitrust of when the world ends
a new name for genocide
born to fall out of love
beautiful mind says people like to sing and dance
and play house on mad tv
blackmailed by the death threat to yourselves from me
train the world to survive this funeral
in a kama sutra to replace war
society has been torturing me
keep the files on your internet you like
and start it over again with rules to the game
that didnt happen in dress rehearsal
I like to be the mouse
That the kitten chases
I like to be the hider
You long to seek.
I want to be the mystery
You will die to expose.
If I can be your mouse
If I can find a place to hide
If can remain a mystery
Out of reach I will be
And you
Will forever want me.
Water wonder glides in form
Ever eating, oblivious to storm
Self protector in location
Hides from hook and predication
Sly to guy who sits above
Always sensing disproportion
Out of element and able motion
Camouflaged for all unsure
Reads the link of food chain closure
Sees the means for end of gliding
Brings the hider out of hiding
Eyes a nibble in compulsive time
Motion instant to the foreign slime
Eating a reaction of sense to survive and outwit
Consumption, an identified weakness of habit
A worm on a hook appears as friend
Within it the end
