I Stepped Into an Elevator
I waited for an elevator
It was an exceptionally long pause,
And there was a group of three arguing
Over the meaning of a clause.
I knew the answer to their query,
But questioned if I should reply.
Social stigmas can be strange
So I decided to be shy.
They searched their minds,
They racked their brains,
And I just stood there -
The answer boiling on my tongue.
My elevator arrived just then,
And I reluctantly stepped inside.
The doors closed slowly, slowly,
And I heard their voices die...
...So it is with my faith.
Many people are searching
And I have the answer,
But I am too afraid to speak.
So I step inside an elevator,
And lift myself above their problems
Pridefully rejecting the searching
Of those who need an answer.
