In the puddle

In the puddle,

like in a heavy. warm. blanket in the cold night

I stay tucked in, comfortable

too comfortable to sleep. but comfortable

happy to hide in the muddiness

Pretending to have a reason to stay behind

I comfortably call myself a victim

for I have something to blame

How naked will I be if I came out of the cover

who is then to blame

for my cold bare body in the dark chilly night

.

In the puddle

on a hot summer day

I float around in the shrinking water

I need to get out I think to myself

This is it. and I boldly think of change

forgetting all the reasons to stay behind

or if there is anything else to blame

I come out of the blanket

and finally decide to find

another puddle for the night
