Hide and Seek

We played like a cat and a mouse

I sighed happily as I finished it today

Because at last I can finally take a break

From these mind boggling math questions

Which can take one's sanity in an instant.

I'm glad I managed to answer the questions 

Which only geniuses like Einstein can answer.

I know that I am not in their level 

But at least I managed to solve these problems.

The next morning, I was the first to arrive

So I decided to review my answers.

But my happy mood quickly evaporated

When my dear homework was nowhere to be found.

Oh! How unlucky I am!

I searched and searched but still no luck.

I did not forget it, right?

Then where on earth is it now?

Not finding a single trace of it,

I decided to do my homework again.

My heart was thumping very fast

As the seconds came by.

I finished it on time.

I really didn't care if I answered it right.

I just closed my eyes to calm myself

As I forced those dreadful memories out of my mind.

But the dreadful memories came back

And seemed to haunt me the rest of the day

As I found my dear homework inside one of my books

While I was searching for a scratch paper.

How funny my luck turned out.

When I needed something most it's not there.

But it will always be present

When it's not needed anymore.

I really didn't know what to feel.

But many years from now I would surely laugh

As one day I remembered how

I played hide and seek with my homework

I remember losing my science warm-ups a few weeks ago. I totally frwaked out. I like this poem.

[Tex]

if you change your last word in this poem to "math" your last stanza will have a rhyme. and it might be even cuter... if that is possible.

Another great write for a great writer!

sometimes we get things seriously and we think these things are the center of our lives, later on we may discover how much these things were really silly and they didnt deserve our care, we laugh at them and at ourselves..
very nicely penned..
