Not Accepting the Obvious

Denial has the capability,
To drag pity around...
In various unique places.
And with a standard of performance set,
Prepared to stir the heart.

Denial has the capability,
To remove truth from memory.
Excuse an alcoholic,
And supply any drug one wishes.

Denail has the capability,
To deceive oneself to hide the truth...
And live a life of lies.

Denial has the capability...
Of not accepting the obvious.

'Thank you for your beautiful performance.
Yes...
Her death was premature and done by natural causes..
She was loved by millions.'

~Loving to hear her voice.
But...
How can anyone be blind to the fact,
She was killing it intentionally.~

Denial has the capability...
Of not accepting the obvious.
But enjoys every detail of pain.
