PeekabooI see you
In the back of my mind.
You covered your eyes,
But that wasn’t a great disguise,
Because you weren’t too hard to find.
Peekaboo
I hear you
Whispering in my ear.
You used to shout
So I kicked you out.
Now what are you doing here?
Peekaboo
I feel you
Slowly slithering in.
You are quite stealthy,
Telling me I’m unhealthy
And should just be bone and skin.
Peekaboo
I hear you
And you’re getting rather loud.
But I’ve had enough
And I’ve gotten pretty tough,
So I will stand unbowed.
absolutely beautiful poem
