Hide and Go Seek


In the cupboards?

Empty.

I am looking for her.

I know she has to still exist.

Under the bed?

Nope.

Where could she be???

In the tub?

No.

Come out my sweet one! I give up!

In the mirror?

That young lady with the matted, nappy hair, blank eyes

 And brown skin thats dulled to a sickly gray...

NO WAY THAT'S ME.

I'll just have to keep looking.
