Elephant In the Room

Sometimes its all too necessary to state the obvious

 

These words are new

Maybe not all that fresh

or even the hippest most poetic sentiments that you have ever gazed upon

But they are coming out right now

In this never again happening

This current living breathing moment

Where if you decide to take a time out

And take a breath

You could then possibly gain the ability to realize

Maybe just for this minute

Everything will be alright by you

 

Some things are just simply impossible to overlook

Although at times it may seem necessary to pretend its not there

The staring eyes are the true confession

Pointing out that something so obvious is being ignored

May be time to hire a new detective

The old one is to blind to see

Or at the very least

Simply unable to speak of the true reality

Now that all the windows have been opened

The drama can be released

The soap opera turned off

And a different story can be told.
