Did Someone Dare to Confront You

Did Someone Dare to Confront You

did someone dare to confront you
and your knowledge
fall short or fall apart
did your ego shiver?
did it miss the beat of your heart
if we dance,
with fragile strings
then is it any wonder
the way people cling
the mistake,
is the missing connection
an artist is just a term
direction, influence, care, people
all the things you learn
not the present flags
that you pretend to burn
did someone dare to confront you
i guess,
you feel the best
with your lone star attitude
you could not care less
but the boy is scared
it is just the grown man
who struggles to show they care
