I run
You chase me
A classic game of tag

You tag me
We laugh
Well, you do at least

I keep running
You call after me
"Hey! You're it!"

I find a quiet forest
But you find me again
And get mad at me

"I'm sorry!" I say
But I don't
Really mean it

I was running from you
And your
Laughing face

But you thought it was all a game
But it wasn't a game to me
It was like a cat chasing a mouse

I was the mouse
Running for my life
And you were the cat

I don't get it
I don't want to play with you
This little 6 year old is too scared

This little girl has insecurities
So don't laugh at her
Life isn't a game of tag

But, please, keep laughing
Because to you life is a game of tag
And you should keep smiling before its too late
