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

And no doubt with your fortune. But I guess you didn't do that deliberately .... did you?

there are a few things that i too have experienced ...
like when you solve your questions well, you believe you're the best .. and rate yourself amongst the best ... funny but true ..
and then the ending .. when you desperately need something it won't show up, as if it has vanished in thin air .. but when you have no need of it, you'll find it safely placed somewhere so close that you beat your head in disappointment ..
so funny ...
very nicely done .. :)

I had experiences similar to this. Repetition of something in life and dreams. I like the story in the poem. Sometime small things can overtake our thoughts. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
