The elephant in the room

The elephant in the room

A Poem by Black Jess
"

That moment when there's something that need to be talked about and everyone knows, but choose to ignore

"

There's an elephant in the room everyone is seeing and no one is talking about
It has a deafening sound, and yet, we ignore it and keep moving aside
The pressure is palpable, inner thoughts are written in everyone's forehead
And yet, silence remains
But no silence inside
Inside, all the conversations are happening
All the misuderstanding is being established
All the sounds are bombarding like fireworks
But no sound gets out
No word is muttered
No sign is given

So, can we please talk about the elephant in the room that we're both seeing ?
