All-Points Bulletin

I am a missing person.

Have you seen me?

A good girl.
Someone bright.

A little quiet
… but alright.

A thinker.
A bit quirky.

A dreamer.
Sometimes flirty.

A whirlwind.
So busy.

Happy-go-lucky.
Often tizzy.

Vivacious.
(Try to be) gracious.

Tenacious.
Definitely loquacious.

Yet.

I am a missing person.

I can’t find me.

Am I still here?
Do I seem steady?
Say I’m sincere.
I want to be ready.

But…
it’s a mistake.

I’m just what I choose to show.

I am a missing person.

You don’t get what I won’t let go.

I thought I had
shallower grooves.

But these thoughts,
run deep.

They creep and seep.

This is not me
catastrophising.

This is me
realising.

I am a missing person.

Have you seen me?
