The therapy room

Hello,

How’s everyone today?

“....”

Ok ?

Well…

Come in,

Find a place to sit,

In a moment will start righting wrongs,

Some of us have yet to admit,

Four,

Five,

Hmm?

There should be Six,

While we wait for our late arrival,

Please,

Talk amongst yourself

As if I don't exist,

“...”

Second thought…

Let's jump right into this,

Who would like to go first?

“....”

Anyone?

“...”

Anyone?

Ok…?

I guess I'll start,

I could be mistaken as your problems,

The way I'm constantly ignored,

For now this beast is tamed in public,

We’re all aware...

That's not the case behind closed doors.

There's dirt on your hands,

Yes,

Even Yours,

As you cast your glares upon him,

Scared,

He stares straight at the floor,

Look at me...

You’ll never break the mold they cast you in,

Willing to settle for what’s in store.

Now with that said,

I understand he’s far from innocent,

Yet soly guilty of these incidents,

Your actions caused during his innocence,

Can we all agree…

Seems a bit ridiculous?

Then again,

What do I know...

Just ask your therapist,

“...”

That’s if he ever shows...

“...”

Why are you getting up?

Do you think by leaving I’ll just go?

Hello?!

“...”.

You can’t ignore me forever,

Take that as a promise,

Not a threat,

And I never break my promises,

Plus it’s known,

I never forget.

So until you’re ready to reminisce,

We’ll all be here together,

Alone in this abyss.

Your friend until the end,

I am,

The Elephant
