After enduring the everydayness
Of these unfamiliar emotions.
I grapple with the concern that
I will never be the same.

How can I ?
When all my efforts have been in vain.
Who do I call to help out with the pain?
Who will shield me from the rain?

After enduring the everydayness
Of these unfamiliar emotions,
I can sit down and know,
To endure pain requires
Devotion.
