Hide and Seek

I hope the monster

Doesn’t get me

I feel

His haze through the room

And I smell

His reek in my eyes

And I lay here

Naked

Under a thin garment

Begging

To be saved

And I’m confused 

What do I do?

If I stay here

He’ll notice

If I run away

He’ll chase

And it’s only time

That decides

When I’m

Caught 

When he’ll eat me

When I’m imprisoned

In his stomach

Again

Waiting for the time

I’m puked out

Or shat out

And life doesn’t get prettier

As it’s always a play

Of hide and seek
