There’s an elephant in the room

She’s in the corner, but she’s there alright

Frequently seen then forcibly unseen

I guess some things are better left unsaid

Like a forced poem by a fake poet

But not all things should be kept in the dark

And it’s not a secret that your past continues to affect you

It's seen in the quick triggering of your keen temper

Or when you lust for pleasure and power…. pills and potions

You’ve morphed your sorrows into a twisted form of your own morphine

Yet you refuse to acknowledge that anything’s wrong

That’s the elephant in the room

She’s depleting your peace and weathering your relationships

You’ve got to get her out!

In fact, let it ALL out

It’s alright to weep and be weak sometimes

It’s alright to admit mistakes and regrets

It’s alright to forgive and begin to heal

It’s alright

‘Cause after that

Eventually

You’ll really be alright
