Asymptomatic

Sometimes these things just take a sudden break,
A thundershower ere the clouds can clear.
That's often just enough crisis to make
The problem and its symptoms disappear.
Of course, sometimes they do not go away,
But merely hide, digging beneath the skin.
Yet when they do, if contemplations stay,
Then self-awareness can itself begin
To root out issues otherwise ignored,
And that which was before a minor crisis
Can be reduced to something that's deplored,
But ultimately fades away. A vice is
A vice for all of that, but need not be
Permitted to remain perpetually.
