Childhood Games.

I still play most of

my childhood games

Probably not every day

Like the old times

But more often than

not playing them at all.

I play hide and seek

With answers of my problems,

They may be good at hiding

But I am no less when

it comes to seeking.

I play ‘Pakada Pakdi’

With my dreams

I always try to catch them

But some of them run free.

I kept running races

With my peers until

I realized each one’s track was different

and it wasn’t a race afterall.

Just like my childhood

While playing these games

I keep falling down

And hurt my heart

Instead of my knees and arms

But just like my childhood

I keep getting up

After evertime I fall.
