Nip It From The Bud Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Don't be the one to deny,
Nothing bothers you but does inside.
As you try to avoid a nagging fear.
Pretending that a threat felt,
Isn't near.
Live you life,
Without it stifled.

Don't be the one seeking places to hide,
From cloudy storms you see in the sky.
To believe what appears will soon disappear,
As tears drip quick from your swollen eyes.

Nip it from the bud,
What's faked.
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked.
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked.
And live your life without it stifled.

Don't be the one seeking places to hide,
From cloudy storms you see in the sky.
To believe what appears will soon disappear,
As tears drip from your reddened eyes.

Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to grieve.
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to leave
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to see...
You can live your life without it stifled.
You can live your life without that fear.
You can live your life without it stifled.
You can live your life to have storms clear.

Don't be the one to deny,
Nothing bothers you but does inside.
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to grieve.
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to leave
Nip it from the bud,
What's faked to see...
You can live your life without it stifled.
If you accept that to believe.

Nip it from the bud,
Whatever is faked.
Nip it from the bud,
Whatever it takes.
Nip it from the bud,
Complaints to make.
And live your life without it stifled.

Nip it from the bud,
To boot.
Nip it from the bud,
To boot and scoot.
Nip it from the bud,
With a promise kept...
And to prove it too,
You will live your life without it stifled.
