Slinking away

I think I’m going to creep quietly,
Back into my safe corner.
Where you found me and,
lured me out with sweet lies.


No, this is not sad song,     
nor it is a cry ode to you.
Maybe an itsy bit,
but mostly it's an announcement.


I'm going back to be born again,
Into that quiet slimy place.
Where all is made new and clean,
from where a new me will come out.


No great heights have been conquered,
no new ground broken,
no weight lost,
no feet have learnt to dance.


But then in the new life,
I will do these things again.
And I will still seek comfort,
in scrambled eggs and bacon.
