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

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."
