..EMBARRASSMENT..

The embarrassment you face, no one knows
Why always me? Is all you want to know.
Beneath, there’s something hidden,
It’s a wish, a wish to change

The hype created around spoken words
The thoughts thought and the speeches made
A rule declared
But….you feel its incongruity

Afraid your thoughts will not be heard
Try to speak, but when given a chance
You stay silent and eschew the questioning glances.

So, with no justification,
It’s not justified, or so they say
You become deterrent.
Your tendency to vacillate is the cause,
Or so you think
But it all disappears in a blink.

Their logic is a temptation, hard to resist,
And so, you give in.
Along the horizon, all’s vague.
Regret, contaminates your soul,
For an opportunity lost, to make your voice heard.
Yes, it’s complicated,
For all that appears is unthinkable,
Unreasonable and against the grain,
Yet acceptable….to most,
But in conducive to all.

However….you let go,
For this, to some, is the only truth
And it’s all here to stay.
Accepting it isn’t the solution
But a co-existence may,
Make the embarrassment easier to face.
