The Elephant In The Room
I always felt
you were an obstacle to my growth
and that once you left
everything would be fine.
and that once you left
everything would be fine.
Now you are gone
I hear you comment on my life
from that space behind my eyes
or in the middle of a conversation
your words come out of my mouth.
I hear you comment on my life
from that space behind my eyes
or in the middle of a conversation
your words come out of my mouth.
The obstacle I needed to remove
was myself
and this way of feeling
and thinking and acting
that sets everything on the wrong course.
And remember instead your other side
the kind and generous heart
your listening skills
and that famous line…
“well then, you'd better get on with it”
