there's no one home today
old already, but still young
eating popcorn cause it's easier than food
hiding in the bed cause it's better than school
when a car slows down and turns into the driveway i freeze
there's no escaping
quick, push the book away
pretend that you're doing something
anything
cleaning, you're cleaning and that's okay
it's a good thing
he's never taken you to task for that
but today's different
don't look
don't turn your head
open your eyes
don't see it and it won't exist
i am not here
it's somebody else on the floor
it's somebody else pretending that this isn't happening
it's not me
i'm not here
don't look
