Pass a tissue,
wipe away tears.
Avoid issues,
or freeze with fear.
Answer swiftly,
good lessons learned.
Walk by quickly,
too scared to turn.
Run from the truths,
hidden inside.
Ignore all proof,
let ego hide.
Behave offbeat,
life is a zoo,
in the hot seat,
pray for a clue.
Aim for self care,
burn in pure guilt.
Aimless seems fair,
break what was built.
Start to comply,
change image too.
Erase all lies,
start over new.
