Hide And Seek

​Hide And Seek
 
When I am alone,
     and quite alone,
I play a game,
     and it’s all my own.
 
I hide myself
     Behind myself,
And then I try
     To find myself.
 
I hide in the closet,
     Where no one can see;
Then I start looking
     Around for me.
 
I hide myself
     And look for myself;
There once was a shadow
     I took for myself.
 
I hide in a corner;
     I hide in the bed;
And when I come near me
     I pull in my head!
