Reductio ad Absurdum -

Playing in a child’s game

I never saw a meaning in the name

And all along I was the one doing the seeking

Or so I believed until your arrival…

Now realize that I only sought one place to hide myself after another

Light is getting low, and I feel as though you gave up

You gave up looking for me

All plain to see

For anyone outside of this skin

I’m wearing thin

And I’ll shed this version of me

A search for the edge, a name for the shape that hides you

From view…

Reduction of all but none, every path has led to one

Illusory conclusion of me in my own way…

All plain to see

For anyone outside of this skin that I taught myself to be

And I’ll shed this version of me

A search for the edge, a name for the shape that hides you

From view…

I’m learning that all I hope to be

(Can begin only when I give in)

Crawling out from where I hide

When I give in…

And the light is getting low
