I Want to Hide

Cali Kittana

The fluorescent lights glare at me
I hide under my blanket and sigh
My mind rushes to ways to escape
I hear another fly buzz nearby
The tape is filling up slowly
Maybe I'll fix the door myself
Yet I doubt that'll happen soon
My phone pings and I debate ignoring it
A little bit of moonlight shines
Eyes sparkling I respond
Pretending to be happy this time around
I can't keep telling people how I really feel
Someone will worry again
I bury myself under the covers
Sliding the remote along with me
A comfort show begins to play
My eyes darken as I glance at the time
I debate disappearing once again
Like I did many years ago
But one thought occurs and keeps me
Gripping my necklace I sigh once again
Moonlight cannot shine without Sunshine
Despite lately it feeling like the opposite
