Grow a Pair

PoetVids - I am WriteBeLight only in Video Version :)



So you know information,

That could save the day.

But, you’re still reluctant,

To speak up and say.

 Because you don’t want,

To make any trouble.

It’s easier to stay,

Inside your bubble.

 Deep in your heart,

You want to speak up.

So, reach down inside,

And, find your guts.

 If you don’t strike,

While the iron is hot,

Then you’re just as guilty,

For the trouble that’s brought.

 So, I will now take,

This sharp little pin.

I’m going to pop,

The bubble you’re in.

 

Then you'll be out,

In the fresh air.

Where the sun will help you,

To grow a pair.

    This is confusing - the poem, which I like, is surely advice to have the courage to speak up....... I'm going to ignore the 'grow a pair' completely...

    On utube , the story of your inspiration is different, but worthy of a separate post here I think...
    Interesting...

      grow a pair
      [grow a pair]
      DEFINITION
      informal
      become more courageous or resolute:
      "all you have to do is grow a pair and ask her out if you want to".

      Here is the idea of that saying. Yes, and that story about the 911 call is terrifying. Thanks for the comment. Happy Halloweeen!

      forgive me if I interpret your wordplay
      to read 'Pear'
      and thus, utilising your words as seed
      to help reinforce that backbone, withered
      by the passing of Time
      waning, under those bruises of life;
      (some may find your direct approach
      overwhelming
      in modernity's, easy-fit
      all-is-victimhood, culture
      but
      if we really want to penetrate, past
      people's bubbles of survival
      to affect and impact, lives
      such harsh truth's, need to be outed
      so we can find a way, to rid us
      of their shackles)
      thanks for sharing
      (I read and learn)
