Gotcha!

Gotcha!

by Elizabeth Challinor

When I smile

At the mischief of a child

Caught in the act

This is how I will now treat you

Sweet little ego

Your self-serving thoughts

Parading through my mind

So easy to trip them up

Watch then stumble and fall

All it takes

A split second of becoming awake

An inner wink

A pinch of freedom


Thanks to Geralt for the image
