Avoidance

Winds gust with forceful change
Our stubborn shields prove useless
The bell tolls a warning within range
We stall behind worn out excuses

Head high or chin down…undecided
We ride against the grain defiant
Our whims like arrows misguided
On silence we’ve become too reliant

Why does it feel so immense
This shift we knew was coming
Behind a mask of false pretense
We dance to a beat so numbing
