Why embarass yourself?

You're not doing a stellar job
distracting me with idle chatter.
Life is not something to be ignored
and swept under a mat.
I've been living in limbo
no matter how you sugarcoat it.
Life is short and every beat matters.
Every day is another notch in the cog of time fleeting.
Life is a race to the finish line,
an obstacle course of sorts.
Ignoring the elephant in the room is
an embarassing act of cowardice.
Sometimes saying something-anything
is better than the insult of shameless pussyfooting.
