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.

- Comment from author about the poem: 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" This is the idea of that saying.

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)
Thanks so very much for your comment. I edited the poem, to explain the idea behind the saying. Your reply is so eloquent and I really appreciate the time you to to reply. Thanks L.B.
