Dealings

Feeling tiny

very small

you can't see me

no, not at all.

I've disappeared

gone away

shriveled up

with old age.

An old spirit

but a young mind

withdrawing out of defensiveness

trying to hide.

Hide and seek...

a child's game

playing still

today,today.

To disconnect

to save the pain

to not get hurt

it's the only way.

No words to speak

nothing to say

sitting quietly

for today.
