Shut Down

You shut yourself down

From the deafening cries of help

From the terrible plight of others

From the humiliation of the voiceless

From the insanity that’s out there

Only to feel comfortable

In your own little bubble

You think maybe you’re lucky

To live your life in an unbreakable bubble

But always remember,

Bubbles do burst

And when it does

You won’t succumb to the injuries

You would succumb to your guilt
