Denial

Denial

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

when needed

"
Hiding is a passion
from the truth we cannot face
In reality it is denial
in the never ending chase
 
Humans have been chased
from their earliest years
Animals have to escape
to reduce inherent fears
 
It was catch and kill
for food that we could eat
All animals must fight or die
for their life to be complete
 
When brains developed fear
it helped us get away
Then becoming who we are
and part of our DNA
 
Now we can use denial
to escape the serious fears
An effective defense mechanism
for any fear that appears
 
Many deny it is denial
they do not like this term
Just labeling any behavior
is enough to make them squirm
 
Call it what you want
our psychology is a human fact
In order to talk about fear
we need to understand this act
 
Knowing more about whom we are
is the best way to make us strong
So use denial when you need to
and sing it like your favorite song
