Dancing Around the Problem

Dancing around the problem.

Not addressing the elephant in the room.

Dodging the question at hand.

Why do we do it?

We don’t want to

Deal with it.

We can

Regret it.

Neglect it,

But we have to solve it.

Disinvolve it.

Revolving around it

Dancing around it

like you’re in a ballroom

And dancers circle you.

Who will save you

from the abyss it created?

You worked so hard

to get where you are,

But now this problem

Is in the back

Of your mind.

Undermining you.

“You have to get through it,”

Your friends say.

“It’ll be okay,”

But you feel like it won’t

You can’t do this to yourself, you don’t

Let it control you

You can’t ignore it and bite off more than you can chew.

In the end,

You have to listen to your friends

And it will all be okay.

You will get through it.
