They Can Always Find Me

How is it
that no matter how many curtains I draw
over every window I pass,
the dark can always find me?

How is it
that no matter how many masks I raise
between myself and the world, 
some parts of me refuse to be hidden?

How is it
that no matter how I try to turn away,
the shadows still see me everywhere
and call me by my name?
