Hiatus

They always ask where you are
it's a common mistake people make
asking without thinking to look for you
maybe it wouldn't matter much anyway
because even in plain sight
they still can't seem to find you
which kind of makes you wonder
do they really know where to look
or are they just looking for information
where you are is obvious
but the real question is why
why do you keep going back there
are you trying to hide
that's what they believe you're doing
hiding from the world 
you've certainly done it before
it's safe to assume you would again
just not this time
so why go back to the darkness
because darkness makes light visible
and sometimes you need to know
how bright you shine in the darkness
before stepping back into the light
