The Elephant in the Room

Do you want to talk about it?

Or do you want to ignoring it?

There are issues that keep getting brought up

But they keep getting denied as even an issue

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

So, therefore, it doesn’t exist

Even if it does

And it’ll keep getting brought up

No matter how many times you try to sweep it under the carpet

No matter how many times you try to pin it on something else

The truth exists

It’s buried under a pile of lies you keep telling yourself

Yes, it’s uncomfortable

For all parties involved

But the elephant in the room needs to be addressed

Perceptions and misconceptions need to be addressed

It’s resulting in innocent people getting mistreated

Learn to read the room

Learn to read the situation
