Elephant
There’s an elephant in the room
He lets me know not to assume
He fast forwards, determining fate
He rewinds, finding the faulty gate
He can see me but I can’t see him
He can see the wick burning dim
I am an imposter of this person called me
I know he knows what isn’t honesty
This elephant has taken control
Hands on the reigns he has taken his toll
I lay restless upon this darkened hour
Stripped of my already lifeless power
