Why do you shy away?

Why do you shy away?

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Nothing to fear.
   Just a touch of life.

Turning away does not make it vanish,
  only adds strength.

Embrace the situation,
  take away the strength.
    By only paying attention.

Thank you, sir.
Turning away absolutely does not make the situation vanish. Your little anecdotes are very relatable.

How can anyone listen?
Very wise.
If we react without thinking this often leads to fuelling the fire.
Pause, absorb, respond...

Children these days. Pinky and the Brain. Animaniacs. I will see if I can send you one.
