Hid.
I am so silly,
aren't I just?
I mock myself,
knowing silly isn't the word I want.
Stupid is the one.
Stupid is the word with the
sharp, serrated edge
that sinks deep enough
to wound me into wakefulness,
the word that shames me to my senses,
I am so stupid, aren't I?
No more hiding.
I have hidden for too long.
