Arise from the ashes.

Awaken from the shadows.

Take this enchantment,

For you’re not one who knows.

You stare at a wall;

Why not look up or down?

You think you smile,

But really you frown.

I present you with facts;

You counter with opinions.

You become so triggered.

The tears of onions.

Step out of the shadows

And into the light.

There is pain in the process,

But no fright.
