would you ever
leave your hand in the fire
all to avoid admitting that it burns?
would you ever swallow sand
only to avoid criticizing its flavor?
then why would you ever
keep an unhappy home
and
bother to love someone you don't even like--
just to shelter their feelings?

Whoaaaa, that was so deep and thought provoking. We should definitely leave when the situation harms us or becomes undesirable. Loved your poem!
Great question to end with! I'm sure those who this applies to would be stumped for the answer. Well Done!!!
