Username : Nemishra 

I floated through the words

My mind hovered over what it meant

The news paper carried headlines

That flew over my head 

The images screamed a scary death

The middle page carried the hunger games

Problems of the world

Mountains of questions 

Unanswered remained 

Yet, 

The burden on my shoulders

Felt heavier, 

Than the weight of the world

The fingers pointing my way

The fear of the headlines 

Carrying my name

I sank into the comfort 

Of a game 

A childhood favourite 

Hide and seek

The sun set 

The colours melted 

The sky shone 

With diamond in her raven hair 

I smiled

I had won,

Once again.....
