Hide n Seek with Darkness

Some walk out when darkness calls, hoping to meet some other soul to share their stories

Here, I play hide n seek with darkness, hoping it would not find me at all

Never find out about my existence, but still encircle like an insane entity

I have not acquired anything, so don’t trouble me with anymore unwanted dreams

Sneak in, and plunder my peace and silence, I pray, darkness evolve

It’s only a failure that I cannot find enough ways to lose myself

Here I am, hugging my soul, of little that I occupy of this world

I feel like a mistaken identity, an unknown character, that even a fictional world avoids
