Elephant

I am the elephant in the room

The one to whom you will not talk

Brushed under the rug with your broom

Pass me, you will always walk

As long as I am ignored

The longer I will stay

Talk about me, I implore

Let me be on my way

I cause you to lie

To say something to change the tune

But you can let me die

End this feeling of doom.

A subject not discussed

The problem remains unsolved

Talk about me, you must

Let me out and be resolved

I will always be here

Waiting to be freed

A whisper in your ear

On your ignorance, I feed
