The Time Has Come

The knowledge drags me down to the floor
Whatever you do, don’t write it out loud

Don’t give it a life, find any distraction
Too painful to process and look in the eye

Tears drown our eyes, blurring the scene
Reality hovers on our shoulders, demanding to be heard

The minute has come, you need to walk out the door
If only for now, please not forever
