Giving the chance

Why do you choose to put it in that Coner?
Or in that hole
Where its dark and cold
Your running
Your hiding
From that something that can be solved
Your letting it go
Before you know it
There will be nothing to let go of
Or anything to run or hide from
So solve it now because before you can blink
It will be gone
It will never be the same way again
That way you laughed and cheered
