Hide and Seek

I need your light, I need your guidance

Something that takes away this pain

Sarah returned to the campsite; she dragged the other woman's body into the tent and set it a blaze with another bottle of wine. She ate the rest of the food and found three bottles of champagne; opened one and began drinking.

She sat on the ground watching the fires start dying and Sarah felt empty inside; she felt nothing for what she did. Sarah drank the whole bottle of champagne before opening and starting on the second bottle as she stood up, and walked into the night of the forest.

I was sincere, the others were lying

So where are you, God? I'm going insane

Sarah didn't know where she was going; she didn't really care anymore as her life was practically over and she was close to being drunk after drinking two bottles of champagne, and she was already drinking the third. What was left for Sarah; no love to care for, no dreams to dream and certainly no life to live?

I tried to be myself, and you despised me

And when I was not it was still the same

All Sarah ever did in her life was try and please everyone for praise, for affection and even love; she took to heart what others say and did everything to be perfect. She took her purity vows to please her family because it was tradition and her friends also took the same vows, and they honored them.

She took pride in her garden at home that was her private sanctuary and where she found peace. Sarah was also a hard worker; she was always professional, always organized, always punctual, always a team player and going beyond to make work easier.

I've got no power to disguise you

When you got me infernally in your game

When you got me infernally in your game

Now Sarah realizes that she had been used as a puppet and her strings have now been cut. She has been set adrift like a boat without sails or directions.

She suddenly finds her-self walking a path of madness and she no longer feels safe in the sunlight of the day. She finds her-self embracing the moonlight and wrapping the darkness of the night about her.

Maybe I was happy

When my dreams were guiding me

Sarah felt something dark awaken within her and she embraced it; she was tired of being normal and no longer wants to be a mouse.

And maybe I, I was sad

You think I'm playing hide and seek

Yes...the night was her domain and she felt safe under the moonlight; she no longer wants to walk under the Sun, she no longer cares for the day and despises the warmth.

But you'll never find me

Never again

Sarah welcomed the darkness as it grew within her; if this was what it meant to become mad, she will embrace it.

So maybe I was happy

When my dreams were guiding me

And maybe I, I was sad

"I used to look at the world with blue eyes; I used to love with an open heart but I was naive and the world needed to show it to me," said Sarah to the night. "I got angry for my weakness and angry with the world; in the darkest swirls of my mind I got stronger, meaner and started to change!"

Then Sarah looked up at the stars and she added with a smile: "I worked with my fear and I became Dark Sarah!"

You think I'm playing hide and seek

But you'll never find me, you never will
