Elephant In The Room

Oh poor little elephant in the room. No one knows him. He cries repent. But I still will not let him go. I won't speak of him. Not a word. He hangs from my ear lobes. Sits in my eyes. Slouches my shoulders. And sometimes makes me cry. He is big... But invisible to the eye. He wants to leave, I want him to. But this chain is ample. And clamped to me tight. Where is the key? Not in sight. I know its here somewhere. Or maybe hours away. Poor little elephant in the room. He needs to be free. He needs to be with his momma. Which unfortunately is me. I have created this elephant. This elephant of distrust. Its no ones fault but my own. But this I feel is unjust.
