The Elephant in the Room

It is not unscathed

It jumps from play to play

Unsettling and loud

Obnoxious and proud

No one dares to mention

Which creates a ton of tension

Fingers point in all directions

Not at the elephant in the room

At times we can only see our own

Or others see ours while on we drone

The trail to success

Is often full of mess

Not without ample distress

A sore thumb has nothing on

The elephant in the room

There have been many times where I have thought, “I wish someone would address the elephant in the room.” Until I started asking myself, “Do I have any elephants?” Do I have any loud situations going on that other people think are so obviously in need of correction, change, or help? The answer is almost always yes. We all have 🐘. Be very careful to think of your own loud situations before being truly comfortable approaching anyone else’s.
