Minding my own,
Expecting no-one to come
And play.
Suddenly,
A tall boy approaches,
\"Will you be my girlfriend?\"
Afraid of him,
Not wanting him,
I said yes.
I don\'t like him,
And I\'m scared of him.
All because of someone at home.
Boys are scary,
I\'m scared of males -
They\'re like storm clouds
With speakers.
Over time,
My boyfriend wants to
Play hide and seek under the sheets.
Who does he think he is?
I\'m scared -
Of the thought,
And action of it.
My mind felt it was playing chess -
I don\'t know how to play,
So I\'m stuck on the first move.
I\'m too young for hide and seek,
But he doesn\'t care.
I play \"keep-away\" with the minutes,
Keeping the scary boy at bay.
It worked,
Until he left.
They\'re like storm clouds
With speakers.
