Hide and Seek (January day 12)

I have a lot to say but I think you have more

I will be the echo

hold out a cliff in a bottle

for voices quieter than mine

 

I have a lot to say but I don’t even speak half your language

I am using my twenty-six letters

squeezing each of them dry until I run out of control

left with empty shells

 

I have a lot to say but this is not quite imposter syndrome

this is not quite empowerment

this is somewhere in the middle where I play hide-and-seek

knowing I am making it impossible for them to find me

so something will be better tomorrow.
