FACE THE DEMONS
Whenever a light goes on to show the way,
grab it tightly before the end of the day,
do not allow it out of your grip,
least you end up in a messy slip.
We are caught up in sacrifices for our jobs,
believing that this is the draw of the lots,
but we're also sucked into the game of shame,
which renders us helpless, cripple and lame.
We're too afraid we will lose our face,
when we bring to light the things of disgrace,
so we live in hiding all of our days,
silently following all the wrong ways.
But the greater shame is to wallow in mud,
while the whole world can see our life is a dud,
we're the only one who thinks we are hiding,
while all can see clearly how we are sliding.
