The Elephant by Curtis SethalerI am standing in the corner
With the elephant in the room
Quietly trying to stay just out of sight
Because I feel out of my mind
I am standing in the corner
As the walls they're closing in
And I'm wishing I never knew the things
All these things I know
The burdens left to carry
Well they are oh so hard to bear
I wish the elephant would leave
But then secrets would be shared
But my mind is like a lock box
and your secrets safe with me
but next time I think I'll pass on this
And all the misery
The sleepless nights, confusion
The means that knows no end
I know all this is metaphor
It will all break
Before I bend
