Shrinking Violets
Why are some people always upfront or in the spotlight
all the time?
refusing to shrivel up like shrinking violets do,
Could it be because some people are blessed with a little
more star quality making others reel with jealousy?
Inquiring minds ask themselves
these questions all the time,
when they don't get the right answers they take it upon
themselves to nix the fame and glory of others,
simply because their persona annoys and bothers,
using their foul tactics and bad behaviour to reduce
the objects of their curiosity to shrinking violets,
treating them less than pets,
Ignoring and ostracizing them any way they can,
hoping to "shoo" them away with the wave of their
hands,
How can people develop contempt for lives they know
nothing about?
Demoralizing their lives so it appears less than grout,
Just because THEY are afraid to Stand up, Show up and Speak Out!
