Hide and seek under the umbrella

177 14 16
                                    

I have an umbrella, so trusty and big

I carry around, when the danger is quick.

I hide from the light, or the noise spreading out,

Scared to the bone of mine, rain is out loud.


Will it last forever? I'm pondering why

I won't be okay without shade if I try.

Shall I be afraid of the things I now dread?

Or should I outgrow all my fearing instead?


Time's killing itself as I cry and I plead.

I feel as my eyes slowly settle and bleed.

There is a world out there, where I shall succeed.

What's stopping me now? Can you spot the deceit?
