Drinking tea with the elephant in the room

There’s an elephant sitting in the room
And I can’t find another way to tiptoe around it

I harbour no illusions about the nature of people. I know what they go through, I know what kind of delusions they indulge in to allow themselves to sleep at night, I see when they lose temper even if they try to hide it, I see when they want to help/control.

I know this all because I still let myself down. Even though I thought I had raised myself better.

I'm no longer a stray dog. That chapter is closed. I'll no longer reluctantly accept the help I never asked for. My thinking is just twisted enough to see right through it all - the eternal quest to dominate the moral high-ground. I'm done with that. I'll willingly take on the role of the bad guy if it means staying true to who I am.

You can't bend in enough different ways to stay fluffy and cute to all. And then, even if you try your hardest, not only does it take a toll on you, there will still always be those who hate fluffy and cute in the first place.

I love you but I know, I gotta let you go
Dancing with the devil 'cause she’s all I’ve ever known
Wanted to pretend, that this time was the end
Sorry, but I guess I gotta let you down again
Again
Again



Hugs&Yeah, come, join me and the elephant..
